García vaguely recalled that in 2018 his brother had told him that the image had been used to illustrate an article for a US satirical magazine. The photo of García, then 34, turned out well – so well that the pair decided to upload it to the Getty Images catalogue. As his brother-in-law, who García asked not to be named, prepared for a photo session with an American writer, he asked García to stand in so that he could adjust for the light. He had posed for the photo in 2014 as he accompanied his brother-in-law, a professional photographer, on a work trip to Barcelona. Paranoia washed over him as he scrambled to piece together what had happened.
