You certainly asked the original poster on X. Did he reply with anything other than advertising for his group?
If not, it is most certainly fake or edited. x.com
The objects in the background suggest a Scandinavian (Swedish) origin of the original photo - if there ever was one...
If you look closely, a large part is copied and duplicated. So it's photoshopped.
If one resets the double part, the original could have looked something like the picture on the right.
Sadly the photo has been EDITED.
Back in the day, when these sort of pics found there way onto LPSG, I posted of pic of mine Edited as an example of what to look for.
My Real pic, then my edited pic & that is the only image of mine that has been edited .
