Cameras are tools that allow light to briefly pass through a small opening so that the image of whatever object or objects that reflected that light can be captured on some medium and viewed later at your convenience. Cameras don't lie....people on the other hand...while that's another story.

As mankind is capable of lying, so is the camera since it is used by man. Poses the question, do photographers have a social responsibility or social conscience? How can the camera lie? Well in actual fact it is far easier today with the introduction of digital photography, since it is far easier to manipulate the image. The digital era has made image manipulation far more accessible to man; before it was limited to specialised people in darkrooms. However, selection of viewpoint, and image cropping allows the camera to appear to lie. The addition of airbrushing images allowed a distortion of the truth to greater or lesser extent.The digital era has certainly extended that distortion to a greater extent. There you go! PS. not forgetting the ability to pose images and situations!

No a camera cant lie, it opens the shutter absorbs the light from whats in front of it and imposes it directly onto film.

Or in these days digital camera's view the light and store the image directly.

It cant lie, but people do, and it's people that change pictures.

yes the camera does lie...even without digital modifications there are techniques such as lighting and angles that can make the subject seem different than it really is.....so i would say that the camera does lie about 99.99% of the time....very few photographers don't alter their photos in some way!

It is possible to take a picture that is not what it seems. The camera only captures the moment and only captures what the camera is aimed at. There are lots of details that can be left out of a picture.


Snopes has some pictures that are very deceiving. Here are a couple.

No because diverse CAMERAS make you look diverse. Like for an celebration some people make look plenty better with a very intense priced digicam even as searching terrible with with a cheap digicam and vice versa. i in my opinion imagine that people do no longer care how they offer the impact of being see you later because it seems tremendous contained in the image. it isn't in any respect extremely one hundred% genuine. you may also look in a reflect time-honored and word something new on your face that could make you look thoroughly grotesque like a bump and that canthrow your questioning about your self off. even as searching in a reflect you're merely searching at a mirrored image meaning your face isn't shaped like that is contained in the reflect. try searching contained in the reflect with a buddy. quite of searching at your self contained in the reflect inspect your buddy contained in the reflect. I guess your buddy's face will be extremely tangled up!!

The camera doens't know how to lie, it just shows you what is put in front of it ad captures that moment

It captures a moment in time, so if in that moment everything looks perfect, than it looks perfect for that moment. Who knows what happens after, it's not the cameras fault.

The camera doesn't but the editor does.

yes, if you get it at the right angle, and with the correct lighting, you can look much younger, even without photo touchups,,,

there are many examples, many of which are left to interpretation, if you see a picture of a hand putting a cookie in a cookie jar, are they stealing or adding to it
