Quoting Michael Heim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Should photographers make a declaration when having manipulated (i mean: > worked hard in photoshop) a picture?
Yes and no. It all depends on the context the pic is presented in. If a photo is presented to be authentic, or unmanipulated, it puts a trust on the photographer to document as objectively as he or she can, to the extent that all essential elements of a story is told. However, no photographer is entirely objective. A picture is always a crop out of reality. The photographer manipulates in the selection of what to shoot. For that reason, I find no reason to trust a photographer to express more than the photographers vision. Manipulated or not.
