SYDNEY—Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was left red-faced on Jan. 9, after a family photograph, doctored by his staff, inadvertently left him with two left feet—an embarrassing image as he tries to end missteps months before an election.

The new image of Morrison with his wife and two children was meant to be his new official photograph for his personal website. However, his staff, keen to remove the prime minister’s scruffy shoes, Photoshopped him with two left feet.
