THE STRINGER NAPALM GIRL - Photo taken by a Vietnamese Photographer named Nguyễn Thành Nghệ. from McRoman's on Vimeo.

A 2025 documentary, The Stringer investigates the authorship of the photo and claims that it was not taken by Ut but by a Vietnamese photographer named Nguyễn Thành Nghệ. Ut and Associated Press both deny the claim.[33] After a year-long investigation into the authorship of the "Napalm Girl" photo, the Associated Press concluded there was no convincing evidence who the photographer is.[34][35] World Press carried out its own investigation into the photographer and presented their findings on 10 May in Amsterdam. They concluded based on an analysis of the location, distance and the camera used, that it is more likely that the photo was taken by Nguyen Thanh Nghe or Huynh Cong Phuc, as they were in a better position than Ut. Given the remaining uncertainty, World Press announced that it would suspend the attribution of authorship to the photo going forwards.[36] AP did not change the credit to Ut, citing the absence of conclusive evidence.[16]
