How can we trust photos to tell the truth now that new technology has made almost Anything Possible can a photographic image still lay claim to authenticity or piece fakery reality. 21 looks francis. Lady di had had enough. George w. Bush was searching for a solution. And meg and mark on prince harry showing off the royal jewels. Talker for Allison Jackson appears to capture celebrities when their guard is down to give us new insights into their world. Has seen really believing. I think its the whole mechanism of photography itself isnt lying to see for medium a saw i mean medium that should not be trusted but actually we still want to be seduced we still want to be believing in it. Allison jackson plays with this inherent contradiction in our popular. State using doubles. So i create photographs that weve all imagined but weve never seen before now that sounds just like a simple mechanism but its just getting that right because as you say you dont go a little bit too far and you dont want to go a little bit too less is just finding that right edge works absolutely David Beckhams well endowed thanks to our dark. And mick jaggers domesticated. This really a moment when mick jaggers doing something in private looks like its in private him at home awning is on the pants the office is under absolutely. Amendment to ensure he does make seemingly spontaneous snap shots taken with painstaking attention to detail here i have that light a light in one hand and a camera in the out im like a portrait painter im trying to find that exact light as i couldnt rely on a assistant camera system to the lighting because they could see the like the sun trying to achieve with the lookalike. Alison jackson sets the stage and molds her models like a sculpture. Twisting and turning things until she achieves the desired effect. The people i look for just only to have a glimmer like a jewelry line or know something and then i can work the rest. Jackson takes powerful figures and knocks them off their pedestals shes been doing this for 2 decades and has no scruples about it donald trump lookalike i found now it looks nothing like donald trump but a wig on him make a new right shade of orange the donald trump wig took me 15 hairstylists to make and cost about 20000. 00 pounds and then he becomes a complete. And then this is what happens when you take a look. This is a fit that new york. People go crazy. Jackson holds up a mirror to society and plays with our hunger for sensationalism and were just you must provide give and radical. Always experiment to get what is too much of what isnt too much. Drawn in by people secret stories and private things we shouldnt none of our business so where is the line and the i think thats a question i have to throw out to all of us where is the line. Queen elizabeth getting on wax. Certainly so right. While Prince Charles and camilla give yo go go theres something cozily familiar about these pics we feel we know the royals intimately so we dont were in tabloid territory. For. Jacksons compositions satisfy our curiosity and yet they also serve as a warning that in this era of fake news we always need to take a 2nd look. And i know a television b. B. C. Programme in london the other day used on my photographs the queen at home in private saying that it was a real photograph then most of it was not a real photograph it was one more so what is that everything is such a bloodless incident. Between our desire for gossip and scandal and celebrities who stage their lives for their fans Alison Jackson those that truth has become an unwitting casualty when i really feel that truth is dead because it really is impossible to tell what is true and what is not and we live our lives through injury this is the 1st time injury really is a stamp list as our 1st language beyond eggs beyond writing beyond anything else theres no stopping it because its such a joy to watch. So its going to breed into another newer more and more images of a highly seductive that were never going to be able to get away from and well never know the truth. Of photoshop. Thats 30 years of photo editing time. So what about photography is claimed to represent the truth well that was yesterday today nothing is impossible the software has taught us not to believe anything unless weve seen it with our own eyes. Of the photograph still be saved. Is just a tool for something that weve known and used for a long time and humans like to be deceived and clients have specific ideas and its up to the photographers themselves to fill them or reject them from. Mary spice is a purist his photos are a testament to our times he documented germanys path to reunification he takes portraits of prominent politicians and currently has to preach in the fight against covert 19 ever since the advent of digital photography hes been using photoshop to brighten or emphasize certain parts of his images but he doesnt cheat this doesnt become i do what we call darkroom work it makes a photo legible and you start to retouch a human face so you cant see any spots for example if i started doing stuff like this where do i start the boundaries are fluid. Strict boundaries are we open the gates to hell. Yet the temptation is strong photojournalists are wondering. And using photoshop enables them to create images that the competition can only 20 months. For many years peter was editor in chief of the magazine made an effort to avoid printing manipulated photos. We had a person working at we all called the forensic scientist for photos. Sensually his main job was to examine photos and to see whether they had been edited or tampered with or. That we had an instance where a photographer had always wanted to capture devoid of humans in its usually crowded with tourists so he just did it all of them out. Of the not forgotten to also edit out the shadows projected from the tourists onto the walls we might not have found out before and there was a quite a lot of that kind of stuff which left us both surprised and shocked for. Those kind of pushes take liberties with the truth and betrayed the trust people place in photography perhaps this trust was misplaced. For the going to photograph you right from the start when photography began there was always this desire this need to tamper with images photoshop is basically just a further development of an age old tool back then it was done manually as a brush and in. These brushes were often used to bend the truth for propaganda purposes individuals who had fallen out of favor. Or who really staged. Wasnt just murder also disappeared for many photos. Miscellany wanted to be shown riding a horse without people seeing the Person Holding his halter to make him look more heroic. Or theres hitler. Depicted with women other than his wife. Of the you have mothers mao tse tung who didnt think it seemly to be so closely flanked by others during a parade. So that the 2 men were moved 5 meters back when they put out sort of from him because its. And today the drama is being at the top more rockets more smoke. Of blood replaces a puddle of water. A rolex judged to flush the night she disappears and stew sweet stains. A photo icon of our times here to manipulation. That if they get bloggers who sit down and scrutinize the images researching every last detail comparing the photos as they appear and different publications they spotted for example at the y. In the corner of one i had been removed from an image and then thanks to further Research Went on to reveal that this famous photographer had even removed entire persons from other not quite as well known photos complete the one all with stone photographer Steve Mccurry reputation took a heavy not the discovery caused an uproar most full of photography is actually trampled or nobody ethics of photojournalism that way tells the true stop and the fake begin its a question the jew you will press photo award faces time and time again here a funeral procession in gaza i did the photographer tamper with the lighting afterwards physical in such a way that strangely it slipped from both sides. And in order to eliminate these morning people in the narrow alley to give them an almost religious glow. I think experts could probably spend an entire day debating this whether or not that is crossing a line that they couldnt it was a nice. Piece of b. L. O. Brisky has much as being part of the jewelry of the World Press Photo award but hes also won it twice himself. As a sort of us them. Well you have to submit the raw data the original photograph upon request with that way they can examine how and to what extent the data has been interpreted and then you always get debates about how far photographers are allowed to go with their interpretations but even a black and white image is an abstraction and is a big change in comparison with the supposedly real situation. From. The real situation below brisky is convinced that every digital image is an interpretation conducted by algorithms so why wouldnt photographers take things into their own hands he believes preaching purists is naive. I believe that throughout its history the target field has always developed in tandem with what becomes technically possible and that its impossible to limit these processes. Brisky likes playing around with technology exploring the possibilities of freeing himself at this eternal commitment to authenticity the skies are taken from one photo and the house is from another its just a click to photos become a symbol i dont think that its being manipulative in any way never claim that a documentary photograph must only contain exposure to light from one side. To be out of this can manipulation stops with the intention to deceive and his photos however he to piece the world the way he perceived it. Intensifies all condenses images and affection a person might wonder from one image to another. And come if i can spend 2 hours waiting for the right moment when the composition is just the way i want to be. I can use the tools at my disposal of create the composition in my mind and are still havent added anything from another situation to the image that ive taken the synchronicity of shooting the photo begin creating the right composition out of the equation and i do this only to be able to participate in the debate. To say we have other possibilities now and thats not a bad thing is that. These prize winning photographer has are among the 1st to grow up in a world of digital imagery and feel at home in it and this new generation tends to view images with a certain skepticism nothings taken for granted their works a county being showcased and have a dash to holland and an exhibition and titled good alsatian or good prospects the common theme photography in times of global descend from asian. Among the photographers is lisa hoffman shes taken pictures in crisis and doesnt trust the images we have of them she wants to form. Skep surface or a mistake on my thing skepticism and mistrust a very strong and very negative connotation words. And i would rather say a desire has arisen to look for other possibilities for representation at a lot of them. She superimposes as many as 1000 photos of places like syria and the ghana stand to create a kind of the new book picture of a mass of details people and objects appear its a photographic puzzle a kind of counter image fasted and what does not to get showing what remains in the background there is no clear idea of someone witnessing events instead it always includes the gaps as well in my artistic gets a ration i try to break through classical concepts of the image and long established tragedies and provide Something Else that. Photographer marcus cybil also observes events that move the world in his videos and photos to takes a perspective all his own and no faces no masses of people on the move. Only the remnants what do refugees leave behind. Is a kind of memorial to those who dont make it the cause of death or listed matter of fact lee drowning hypothermia or simply. Photography can also be an indictment. Rather saying as a very different approach his mysterious photos are manifestations of hidden processes hundreds of points of light on the scan this is how facial recognition works when we unlock a smartphone and. He captures this fraction of a 2nd with a converted single lens reflex camera using infrared imaging to reveal points that are normally invisible and transform them into an image makes the invisible visible. As much as it makes you realize an invisible sphere surrounds you that exerts an incredibly Strong Influence on your life i mean it makes you want to be able to locate it and we dont want to pinpoint it awakens a deep desire instinct to bring it into the realm of perception ive got someone who. Lives and works in often in western germany. He set up a studio in an old laundry. He moves through the fields he captures the intangible such as the signals from earth observation satellites. Im setting up my own receiver for satellite data and i can hardly wait to see what i can pick up out of the sky today or thats whats so exciting is that its not yet such a top secret black box. You can still get into it even as a regular citizen. With a bit of technical savvy. Listening to a satellite thats almost right overhead moving above europe. Until today into photographs images of the earth beneath clouds and water vapor and reveals how we observed. Mr graham a very important part of my work is the consideration of where the image comes from and that it was the center of the addressee or the mind off the plays a decisive part you cant cut that out because then the work loses dead and is no longer exciting showing where the image comes from is every bit as important as the image itself. Its an insight into our present and a glimpse into the future as new technologies become more and more encrypted and inscrutable. Eventually happen is that these black boxes the photographs vanish into food. Are there algorithms or as in this case observations out oh its more image data sent back and forth they will become less and less accessible and it will be was able to examine the processes themselves the movie to go by and they can come. Not all of photographers are looking into the future recut of fallen behind is looking the other way back to the beginnings of photography one project has her meeting her sister in a room only the 2 of them for a few days and the camera. Photography is most basic aspects may appear simple but are in fact complex they trade roles who is 1st a question who who is active and who is passive. The good man i am at. My work isnt primarily a question of digital or analog in my actually i take a journey back through the history of photography in a work created by me and my sister one that could hardly be more subjective or more personal thank and. Forward into the past or upwards into almost inaccessible rounds young photographers in germany are calling many things into question and shining and unite on 2 existing realities. I try to be as open and this free of care thats possible at the same time very relaxed to a particular moment comes together. Very concerned with the surface reality what we see on the surface at the same time what is underneath the lives of the many many layers of our can board who are can be as wandered to the worlds big cities with his rather flex law goes out and berlin bomb a call. But the images he captures are always ambiguous. Is this photo studio in togo or does it offer photos to go. This shot of a carefree child playing on the beach masks a different reality. This young girl she walks up and down probably the whole day trying to boiled eggs and split them down and spend the moments going on this kind of merry go round this particular social situation if her parents see her doing this that we saw it so they would might even be to. Born in oxford and raised in laos can be has lived in berlin for years having experienced so many different ways of life he knows that everyone will interpret his pictures differently. Its really different realities it depends where your coverage from how you want to look at it what age you are home but sure you are all these things all the time and in my own perspective no one reality is above the other. This is the bar beach in la goes before construction started here. Time and again and go to work and be was drawn there to the beach where all the nigerians hung out. Blind beggars being led by 2 sighted people. A woman praying. How much history how many stories as the sea washed away a lot of us cautiously all cautiously look out and have a kind of faint echo of the former slave trade were from these very shores millions of people were taken away into the newer slaves so theres a code of very faint echo still echoing in one listens in very carefully. This echo of history can also be heard in our can be african quarter project. Since the 1990 s. Hes been documenting life in the quarter of district where many of the streets are named after former german colonies. Some streets are even named after men responsible for the deaths and suffering of countless thousands of africans. Peters. Time and time again activists blot out his name.

Violence resistance and the colonial past thats yet to be addressed all compressed into the image of a single street sign. Always shoots his photos with an analog medium format camera and always in black and white he doesnt need to photoshop his images all he needs is a lot of time and a little serendipity. In his every day observations of life in both iraq and be captures the attitudes and atmosphere in the big cities of europe and africa. And he invites observers to discover the realities hidden behind the surface. Perception of reality going to get fragments. Its fragments so its a constant quest to try to get as close as possible to reality its an ongoing learning adventure i think its very very important but i would never ever say that really caught them so i keep on trying all the time.
