On May 3, 2021, a photograph supposedly showing U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden during a visit with former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter went viral on social media. While some appreciated the photo as it showed the current and former occupants of the White House, others shared it because the perspective made the Bidens look giant compared to the Carters.
To start off, this is a genuine photograph of the Bidens and the Carters. It was originally shared by the Carter Center, and it's doubtful the Carter Center would purposefully manipulate a photograph to denigrate the person their organization specifically celebrates.
But if the photo is genuine, why does it look a little strange?
As far as we can tell, there are three things at play here.
