“Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.”~Duane Michal

Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why? 


I agree. Not every photo is candid. Even when it is, a photo can be taken out of context by how the photographer might crop an image. There are so many instances when the photographer will manipulate a situation to make a photo what they want it to be, whether its just lighting, or positioning of the subjects, and what or whom they decide to include or not include. Even after a photo is taken, it can be edited with a program like Photoshop. Often, no one but the photographer knows the work that went in to taking the image to get the result they wanted. As a result, nothing is what it seems.
