“Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.” Arnold Newman
When taking a photograph, many times photographers “set up” a scene to get the lighting you want or the perfect background. Most photos become unrealistic. Women’s’ bodies are perfect in every way, the lighting does match what looks like to be the time of day with the color of sky, and actions are posed. I know that is what Photography is supposed be, but in reality not many photographs are real. Especially now with Photoshop, any photograph can be manipulated with colors, fake lighting and filters. Every photographer creates their photographs to fit their perception of reality. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn’t
