As soon as you trip the shutter, you've altered reality.

I don't call my pictures anything but pictures. I leave it to the
viewers to decide. A photograph presented solely for viewing pleasure
promises nothing more. I've done newspaper photography and magazine
photography. I'll clean things up if necessary but I don't
misrepresent the subject. Hell, I don't misrepresent the subject in
any of my photography. I only strive to make it more realistic and
more pleasing to look at.
A bit of a dichotomy. More pleasing and more realistic? What happens
if you decide that to make it more pleasing, you need to alter
reality?
As soon as you do that, you are misrepresenting the subject.
