Intention and Artifice article response
This article was a little confusing at times but it had great points, I was not aware of many instances there have been with photographers creating false representations of supposedly historical events. I appreciate manipulated photography as art but I did not know the extent to which people used it. It’s hard to imagine how far we’ve come with technology and how now, when viewing a photo, you must first assume it is false as opposed to representing something real and true, or even “as signifiers with stable meaning and value”. I found it very interesting how the article compared a photographer to a predator on the hunt. It seems a shame now that photographers often do not even have the integrity to search and wait for that perfect picture but instead create it falsely.
