Normally, when you text your partner about the kids, you expect a simple sentence or two reassuring you that they are ok. However, Dad and photographer Kenny Deuss had other ideas, and thus his series of humorous photoshops was born.
He takes photos of his kids then photoshops them into increasingly precarious and dangerous situations, then he sends his partner the images. These proved to be particularly popular online and we got in touch with Kenny to learn more about his craft, the process, and other creative endeavors.

#3 Dad Needed Some Me-Time So I Decided To Hang Around While He Played His Games

Bored Panda got in contact with the creator of all these images, Kenny Deuss to learn a bit more about how his process has changed over the years. “I have been making them for over 3 years now. This has given me time to invest in better content and quality. I learned much more about photography and editing, but also about social media and video.”
“In these 3 years, social media has given me some additional challenges on its own. Video has become a much more important player, so I began to implement my pictures in video as well, which has resulted in some viral videos of my own. I also experimented with some comedy sketches in videos and this has been working out great as well!”

#5 There Is Nothing Better Than Some Homemade Fries. Aster Is In Charge Of The Frying Pan, While Dad Is In Charge Of The Sauces And Tasting. Sounds Like A Good Deal, Doesn’t It? Dad Prefers Ketchup, While Aster Likes Mayonnaise More. But I Guess That’s A Belgian Thing. What’s Your Favourite Sauce?

#6 Back When We Were On Holiday In Türkiye The Girls Wanted To Go On A Quad-Ride. Little Did We Know Aster Wasn’t Planning On Driving The Speed Limit

You can check out Kenny’s TikTok account here. Now, as anyone who has tried to make a kid pose for a photo, it’s pretty clear that they often just have too much energy, so we wanted to know if Kenny’s children have gotten any better at posing. “Yes, the oldest is 4 years now and she loves to pose in front of the camera. They are having fun and love to do crazy things, which is great to play, but also to make content together.”

The origin of the photos is just as humorous, as they began as a prank to scare his girlfriend whenever she would text to check in on the kids. Soon enough, his creations went viral for the whole internet to enjoy. Since then, he’s been creating them regularly as his kids grow older, as well as exploring other mediums to post his work. These days, he posts weekly, so feel free to follow him online.

#12 Every Day Is A Good Day To Make Pancakes! Aster Always Wants To Take Her Own Food, So I Decided She Could Make Her Own Food As Well
Image credits: onadventurewithdad
Of course, many a concerned parent might not understand that the pictures are Photoshop and satire, so we also wanted to know if he ever gets concerned messages. “Since I have been making videos I've been more careful of my content. Almost everyone who sees my pictures understands it's all Photoshopped. But in videos, this is a different story, so I'm making sure the content is obviously meant as a joke.”
#13 I Knew It Was A Bad Idea To Go For A Walk During A Storm. The Wind Was Way Too Fast And Took Away My Hat!!! If Someone Finds My Hat, Please Let Me Know. Oh, And Also Aster.

Luckily We Were Fine, But Some People Close To Us Had Trees Falling On Their Roofs And Onto Cars, So I Hope Most Of You Got Out Without Harm Or Damage

“The percentage of people who don't appreciate the joke is pretty low, although there are always those people who spread negativity way too much. But I've been blessed that these people are an exception,” he added. As his photos have gone viral, more and more people understand that it's a humorous creation, not a real child in danger, but early on, particularly when people were unfamiliar with the capabilities of Photoshop, one can imagine a panicked response.
#16 We Are Releasing Our Own Book!! On April 12th I Will Release My First Book, Filled With A Selection Of My Best Images, But Also A Lot Of New Ones! These Images Will Come With Some Dad-Tips That You Better Not Take Too Seriously. It's The Perfect Gift For Father's Day!

Kenny summed up his whole experience pretty succinctly, “It has been a crazy adventure so far, and I'm looking forward to creating much more content. I love this opportunity to create content with my family, and I have so many more ideas to translate into pictures and videos. So feel free to follow along to discover my weekly posts.” You can always find his pictures on Instagram here and his TikTok here.
