Founder of Dunked here. Yes, this is absolutely a photo. Everything in the final image is real excluding the screenshot on the display. I added that after.

I vote photo if for no other reason than the fact that it would be way too much work to render. But yeah it does have a kinda "fake" vibe.

it's a picture, because the reflection in the lamp shows the rest of the room, including curtains and down lights. It'd be crazy 3D work for one shot. It has however been brushed up pretty well.

My brother and I have a bet. I eagerly await your (obvious) responses.

I reached out to Orman, the creator of Dunked.

As a 3d guy, this is an image, however, you could render this. It would be disproportionate to the function of the image though. A buddy of mine did render his: http://www.sjoerdolislagers.com/

However, he's also a 3d'er, so then it makes sense.

It's a photo, I think it's either a stitch of multiple images, or has been corrected for lens distortion, which is why it appears slight 'too nice'

Deffo photo, we were doing something similar yesterday.

I would say photo too. I think because of the whitespace on top after post processing, it made the subject felt fairly disconnected (if this make any sense). I think the only thing that is not part of the photo is the mac, which looks like it's superimposed.

2 cents on photo. Why create such an elaborate render if one could take a picture and clean it on Photoshop much faster?
