Photographers sometimes use special techniques to improve their images.
But when do they cross the line between enhancement and fabrication?
The distinction resonates in Mary Dixie Carterâs début novel,
âThe Photographerâ (Minotaur, $27.99, 304 pages).
Professional photographer Delta Dawn of New York City specializes in shooting childrenâs birthday parties, which rarely consist of unblemished delight. So she might replace a frown with a smile or remove incipient tears and add sparkle to eyes.
She follows her practices when architects Amelia and Fritz Straub throw a bash for their 11-year-old daughter, Natalie, in their Brooklyn brownstone. Impressed by the Straubs and their home, Delta leaps at the chance to babysit the child.

Delta, the protagonist and narrator of this novel, is a professional photographer, VERY good at her craft.
Specializing in children’s birthday parties, Delta knows all the regular tricks. She takes pictures posed and unposed. She understands lighting and angles. Dawn can “disappear into the woodwork” and take candid photos, but she prefers to “create” the moment. She sees herself, she tells us, as a “director.” Delta can bring vitality into a gathering using various tricks, like balloon animals.
And if the children in the photos still don’t look happy enough or pretty enough, there is Photoshop, where the children will get unblemished skin and wonderful smiles. She can not only remove the red dots; she can make the child’s eyes blue.
