Allan Detrich is a photojournalist/photographer. In the journalism world, he has a bad reputation. He has been caught numerous times altering photos. For instance he took a photo of a girls basketball game, and there was no ball in the shot, so he photoshopped one in. The ball perfectly fits into the photo, but while this is acceptable in the art world, this is not in the journalism world. He was even fired from his position for this. One of his most famous series is "children of the underground." For this series he photographs children that are in an organized underground network that hides parents and children fleeing the court system they believe won't protect them from alleged sexual abuse. It is estimated that over 200 children each year make their way through several such clandestine organizations, staffed by volunteers willing to break the law to protect children whom they believe are being abused. Here are some examples of his photography from this series of a girl named Amanda:
Here is another example of his work:
