Three things strike me about the picture that make me almost certain it’s photoshop (not including its inherent ridiculousness). First, the edges of the belt, especially the inside edges of the rivets, seem far too crisp, like it wasn’t cropped perfectly. Second, it doesn’t seem to be the same scale as the rest of the picture; if it’s real, it would almost have to be a child’s size. Third and perhaps most importantly, you can see all of the rivets, which leaves the obvious question: how is it staying in place without the buckle fastened? The part around the back of the neck looks fine, but that would be much easier because of the shadows involved. Alternately that part is real and he’s wearing a lanyard of some sort, perhaps with his credentials?
