how can we trust photos to tell the truth now that new technology has made almost anything possible kind of photographic image still lay claim to authenticity or piece fakery reality. 21 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. but is seeing really believing things as the whole mechanism of photography itself is a longing to see for medium a so what i mean me in that should not be transmitted but actually with film. wants

to be seduced we still want to be believing in. alison jackson plays with this inherent contradiction in our pop rocks all staged using doubles. so i create photographs that we've all imagined we'd never seen before now that sounds just like a simple mechanism but it's just getting that right because as you say you don't go a little bit too far and you don't want to go a little bit too that is just finding that right edge that works absolutely david beckham's well endowed thanks to our dog. and mick jagger's domesticated this really a moment where mick jagger's doing something in private looks like it's in private him awning is on the paths of his underpants absolutely. sure he does maybe seemingly spontaneous snapshots taken with painstaking attention

to detail here i have that light a light in one hand and a camera in the other i'm like a portrait painter i'm trying to find that exact light as i could rely on a assistant camera system through the like thing because they could see the like the sun trying to achieve with the look alike. alison jackson sets the stage and models 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 jewel lawyer or nurses or something and then i can work the rest. jackson takes powerful figures and knocks them off their pedestals she's been doing this for 2 decades and has no scruples about it donald trump look at. i found now

it looks nothing like donald trump put a wig on him make a new right shade of orange you know the donald trump wig took me 15 hairstylists to make and cost about $20000.00 pounds and then he becomes a complete monster and then this is what happens when you take a look at life on the phone. this is a if it happened in new york. the great crazy. jackson holds up a mirror to society and plays with our hunger for sensationalism and which is humorous provocative and radical. always experiment what is too much and what isn't too much. drawn in by some people secret stories and private things that we shouldn't none of our business so where is the line and the i think that's a question i have to throw out to all of us where is the line. queen elizabeth

getting on wax. so me so write. what prince charles and camilla give yoga go there's something cozily familiar about these pics we feel we know the royals intimately but we don't we're in tabloid territory. for the. jackson composition satisfy our curiosity 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 knows. it was not for

a real photograph it was one more so what is that everything is such a bloodless it's an it. between our desire for gossip and scandal and celebrities who stage their lives for their fans and jackson knows 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 in the tree really is a stamp wish his office language beyond existence beyond writing beyond anything else there's no stopping it because it's such a joy to watch visuals so it's going to breed into another newer more and more images that are highly seductive that we're never going to be able to get away from and we'll never know the truth.

of photoshop. that's 30 years of fashion. so what about photography is claimed to represent the truth well that was yesterday and today nothing is impossible to software has taught us not to believe anything unless we'd seen it was our own. city of the 1st request still be saved. shop is just a tool for something that we've known and used for a long time and humans like to be deceived and clients have specific ideas and it's up to the photographers themselves to fill them or reject them. no response is a purist his photos are a testament to our times be documented jim. path to reunification he takes

portraits of prominent politicians and currently in the fight against it 19 ever since the advent of digital photography he's been using photoshop to brighten emphasize certain parts of his images but he doesn't cheat this doesn't become i do what we call darkroom work these for he makes a photo legible and for once you start to retouch a human face so you can't see any spots for example if i started doing stuff like this where. the boundaries are fluid we don't set strict boundaries we open the gates to hell. yet the temptation is strong photojournalists are under increasing pressure and using photoshop enables them to create images that the competition can only 20 months. for many years peta mathias 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. essential of his main job was to examine photos and to see whether they had been edited or tampered with. but we had an instance where a photographer had always wanted to capture devoid of humans in that it's usually crowded with tourists so he just did it all of them out. how do you not forgotten to also edit out the shadows projected from the tourists onto the walls we might not have found out. and there isn't quite a lot of that kind of stuff for us both surprised and shocked for. those kind of pixel pushes take liberties with the truth and betrayed the trust people place in photography but perhaps this trust was misplaced. for going to photograph you right from the start when photography began there was always this desire this need to tamper with images for. the shop 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. or who really staged they had wasn't just murdered and that he 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 there's hitler or wanted gerbils depicted with women other than his wife of. the you have mothers mao tse-tung who didn't think it seemly to be so closely flanked by others during a parade. so the 2 men were moved 5 meters back when they put out. because it. and today the drama is being and top more rockets more smug.

little of blonde replaces a puddle of water. a rolex judged to flush the night she disappeared as to swing states. a photo icon of our times here to manipulation. that see things 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. at the. stone photographer steve mccurry as reputation took a heavy not the discovery course in aprile must find a photographer as has he trampled all over the ethics of photojournalism that will tell us the truth stop on the fake begin it's

a question that you you will press photo award faces time and time again shia a funeral procession in gaza i did the photographer tamper with the lighting afterwards this is 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 it was with the new. p.c. b.l.o. brisky has much has been part of the jury of the world press photo award but he's also won it twice himself. as a sort of us 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 images need to protection conducted by algorithms so why wouldn't photographers take things into their own hands he believes preaching purism is naive. i believe that throughout its history photography has always developed in tandem with what becomes technically possible and that it's impossible to limit these processes is a bigger deal of risky 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 houses from another just to click to photos become. i don't think that it's being manipulative in any way god never claimed that a documentary photograph must only contain exposure to light from one side. to be out of this committee place and starts with the intention to deceive and his

photos however he to piece the world the way he perceived it. intensifies all condenses images and if a person might wonder from one image to another. and come if i could 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 cops are still haven't added anything from another situation to the image that i've 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 so to say we have other possibilities now and that's not a bad thing. these prize winning photographers 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 nothing's taken for granted their works account leaving showcased in hamburg dash to holland in 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 she's taken pictures in crisis and doesn't trust the images we have of them she wants to form a. skep surface but a mistake on i think skepticism and mistrust are very strong and very negatively connotations words. and i would rather say a desire has arisen to look for other possibilities for representation a lot of the. 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 it's a photographic puzzle a kind of counter image past it and what is 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 to 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 don't make it the cause of death are listed matter of fact late drowning hypothermia. photography can also be an indictment. mater

saying i has a very different approach to his mysterious photos or manifestations of hidden processes hundreds of points of light on the skin this is how facial recognition works when we unlock a smartphone and. he captures this fraction of a 2nd with a converted single thens reflex camera using infrared imaging to reveal points that are normally invisible and transform them into an image he 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 don't need to pinpoint it it awakens a deep desire instinct to bring it into the realm of perception i've got someone who. lives and works in often in western germany. he said at the studio in an old laundry. he

moves through fear as he captures the intangible such as the signals from the thoughts of nations acolytes. i'm 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 the what's so exciting is that it's 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 that's almost right overhead moving above europe. 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 of you can't cut that out because them the work loses dead and is no longer exciting showing where the image comes from is every bit as important as the image itself. it's 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. their algorithms or as in this case observations out of lights or image data sent back and forth they will become less and less accessible and will be 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. the job of his 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 isn't primarily a question of digital or analog 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 thanks and. forward into the past or upwards into almost inaccessible rounds young photographers in germany are calling many things into question and shining a new knight onto existing realities. i

try to be as open and this free of care as 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 seams what is underneath the lives of the many many layers of rock in a border i can be as wandered to the world's big cities with as rather flex lagos' athens berlin comical. but the images he captures are always ambiguous. is this photo studio and so go 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 they'd be salk's it so 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. it's 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 in both iraq 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 has the sea washed away a lot of us cautiously old cautiously look up and have a kind of faint echo of the former slave trade we're from these very shores millions of people were taken away into the new were slaves so there's a kind of very faint echo still echoing in one this is the very carefully. this echo of history can also be heard in our can be african quarter project. since the 1990 s. he's been documenting life in the corner of berlin's wedding 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

his every day observations of life arkan body 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. good for. our perception of reality going to good fragments fragments fragments fragments so it's a constant quest to track it as close as possible to reality it's an ongoing learning adventure i think it's very very important but i would never really caught
