This paper introduces a new approach to photography forensic field. This approach is on a referenced 3D photography forensic study. Two photos were taken by Alice and Bob which are controversially analyzed based on claims from different sides. With using Google map and two photos, we generate a 3D model and simulate whose claim is more to the truth. Throughout the simulations, one perceptual error committed by Alice has been corrected. At the same time, the claim that Alice has made is not possible to be true. Moreover, this paper covers the fact that optical aberration would be the reason of abnormal effects on the photos which is possible to become a mistake to the normal for the abnormal. As a conclusion, this paper presents a systematic approach to fight legally against various perceptual errors occurred in analyzing photos and to use as forensic evidence.
