She might never explicitly claim that, but the page is clearly written in photojournalist style. A photo of snow leopard tracks with coordinates, talking about and documenting the process of her search and how she finally managed to snap a photo of the leopard.

Reading that page I certainly would think the images are unaltered (i.e. not stitched together).

That is not to say that the publications that took the photos were in the right. But the false impression is not entirely on them.

You should consider developing your critical thinking skills.

The parent explained exactly how their critical thinking skills led them to believe the images are unaltered.

Instead of belittling them, do you have examples of things which they could have picked up to imply that the images were altered?

I'd start by reading the disclaimer at the very top of every page.
Note that this disclaimer is barely visible - and just got added, it was not there for example on 2022-11-27. See https://web.archive.org/web/20221127123427/https://kittiyapa...

What was displayed before was "WORLDWIDE SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR PRINTS" and only on general print page disclaimer was mentioned.

And individual pages were trying to pass fake collages as "Photography by Kittiya Pawlowski" - see https://web.archive.org/web/20221127122923mp_/https://kittiy...
