well you. know what you describe spiders are back to that africa's most successful radio drama series continues in the whole of this odes are available online course you can share and discuss on w africa's facebook page and other social media platforms crime fighter 2 mean now . it's. all a perception of reality going to get fragments fragments fragments from. 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 france's. lady di had had enough. george w. bush was searching for a solution. and meghan mark on prince harry showing off the royal jewels. ringback 'd photographer allison jackson appears to capture celebrities when their guard is down and 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 full medium a so one really in that should not be translated. actually we still want to be

seduced we still want to be believing in. our son jackson plays with this inherent contradiction in our pop rocks he picks a staged using doubles. so i create photographs that we've all imagine we've 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 it's just finding the right edge works absolutely david beckham's well endowed thanks to our dark. and mick jagger's domesticated it's really a moment where mick jagger's doing something in private looks like it's in private him on inger's underpants that is an absolutely. sure he does make seemingly spontaneous snap shots taken with painstaking attention

to detail here i have that like a light in one hand and a camera in the other i'm like a portrait painter i'm trying to find that exact like as i couldn't rely on a assistant camera assistant to the lighting because they could see the mike in 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. people i look for just only to have a limb like a jewel liner in 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 alike i found

now it looks nothing like donald trump but 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 pounds and then he becomes a complete stop and then this is what happens when you take a look at why. this is a outfit that new york. people go crazy. jackson holds up a mirror to society and plays with our hunger for sensationalism and watches humorous provocative and radical. always experiments he didn't want his too much of what isn't too much. drawn in by people secret stories and private things we shouldn't a 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 money. queen elizabeth getting a wax. sorry so right. what prince charles and camilla give yogo ago there's something cozily familiar about these pics we feel we know the royals intimately but we don't we're in tabloid territory. jackson 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. they moved to no it was not for real photograph it was for the

more so what is that everything is such a blood louis it's a. between our desire for gossip and scandal and celebrities who stage their lives for their fans and 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 worse and we live our lives through injury this is the 1st time in the tree really is a stamp wish this 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 and 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 fresh. 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 we've seen it with our own. penalty intercity of the photograph still be saved to. put a focus now to 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. the response is a purist his photos are a testament to our times. he documented germany's path to reunification he takes

portraits of prominent politicians and currently is depicted in the fight against covert 19 ever since the advent of digital photography he's been using photoshop to brighten the emphasize certain parts of his images but he doesn't cheat this doesn't become i do what we call darkroom work these for him 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 have 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. 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 or. that we had an instance where a photographer had always wanted to capture devoid of humans and it's usually crowded with tourists so he just added 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 led 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 the going to photograph you right from the start when photography began there was always this desire this need to tamper with him it. his photoshop was 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. would be. or who really staged. wasn't just murdered and that he also disappeared for many photos it was really neat. 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. 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 he pulled out from the. and today the trauma is being at the top more rockets more smog.

pottle of blood replaces a problem with more stuff. a rolex judged to fly she naturally disappears as to swing states. a photo icon of our times 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. of one. stone photographer steve mccurry his reputation took a heavy not the discovery course in aprile must find a photographer has had he trampled all over the ethics of photojournalism but where does the truth stop and the fake begin it's

a question the julia will press photo award faces time and time again here a funeral procession in gaza i did the photographer tamper with the lighting afterwards as this is over 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 and it was with those of a nice. piece him below brisky has much as being part of the jewry of the world press photo award but he's also won it twice himself. as a 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. 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 house is from another it's just a 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 all of this starts with the intention to deceive and his photos however he did piece the world the way he perceived it. intensifies all condenses images and to face new person might wonder from one image to another. i could spend 2 hours waiting for the right moment when the composition is just the way i wanted to be. done i can use the tools at my disposal of and 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 is one who gets interesting. these

a mass of details people and objects appear it's a photographic puzzle a kind of counter image fasted and what is not to get showing what remains in the background there is no clear idea of someone who witnessed seeing 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 lee drowning hypothermia also. photography can also be an indictment. rather

saying i has 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 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 want to pinpoint it awakens a deep desire instinct to bring it into the realm of perception someone who. lives and works in often in western germany. he said at the studio in an old

laundry. he moves through sceptical sphere he captures the intangible such as the signals from the patients satellites. 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. 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 about europe. the data into 1st across images of the earth beneath clouds and water vapor and reveals how we observed. mr graham

a very important part of my work that is the consideration of where the image comes from and that it was the center of the addressee on them and off the plays a decisive part you can't cut that out because then the work loses its edge and it's 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. are there algorithms or as in this case observations out of lights 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 with moving to go and i can come. not all of photographers are looking into the future recut a file and behave 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 aggressor and 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 thank 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 that's possible at the same time very relaxed where a particular moment comes together. very concerned with the surface reality what we see on the surface of the soup what is underneath the lives of the many many layers of rock in bordeaux our can be as one of the world's big cities with his rather flex law goes out the nz berlin comical. 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
