"Thruth is truth" and "Photography cannot be trusted any longer"
I am amazed that these kind of statements could still be heard! Let's recall some basic facts about photography:
- photography is a REPRESENTATION and, as such, it is, and it always was an interpretation, a cultural construct.
- There is no such thing as a "true to reality" photograph! Any photograph implies framing, and framing is photographer's choice! He cannot photograph "reality" but just a fragment of it. The very nature of the medium imposes choice! So, who can seriously talk about "objective" photography?
