come to germany. i got my license to work as a swimming instructor. for an hour to children $100.00 just run faster. what's your story take part sharon on in for migrants got. 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 kind of 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. photographer 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 full medium a so i mean me in that should not be translated. actually we still want to be

seduced we still want to be believing in it. allison jackson plays with this inherent contradiction in our pop rock. 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 less is just finding the right edge works absolutely david beckham's well endowed thanks to our dark. and mick jagger's domesticated. that's really a moment when mick jagger's doing something in private looks like it's in private him awning is underpants the office is on absolutely. you know and then to ensure he does make seemingly spontaneous snap shots taken with

painstaking attention to detail here i have that light alights in one hand and a camera in the out the i'm like a portrait painter i'm trying to find that exact light as i couldn't rely on a assistant camera system to the light thing because they could see the like the sun trying to achieve with the lookalike. allison jackson sets the stage and molds her models like a sculpture. twisting and turning things until she achieves the desired of back to . the people i look for just only to have a glimmer like a jewel or know 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 lookalike 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 hairstylist 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 life so if. this is a hit that. you think they play. and holds up a mirror to society and plays with our hunger for sensationalism and work as humorous provocative and radical. one can always experiment to get what is too much of what isn't too much. drawn in by some people secret stories and private things really 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 a wax. so every so right. while prince charles and camilla give yoga go there's something cozily familiar about these picks me feel we know the royals intimately don't we don't we're in tabloid territory. for the. jacksons compositions 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 it was not

a real photograph it was one more so what is that everything is such a blood line isn't 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 to us our 1st language beyond eggs beyond writing beyond anything else there's no stopping it because it's such a joy to watch. so it's going to breed into another the more and more and more images of a 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. 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. candy authenticity of the photograph still be saved. is just a tool for something that we've known unused for a long time where humans like to be deceived and clients have specific ideas and it's 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 germany's 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 he's been using photoshop to brighten all emphasize certain parts of his images but he doesn't cheat this is the 1st one i do what we call darkroom work at least it makes a photo legible but 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 do i start the boundaries are fluid and if we don't set strict boundaries 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 month. 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. essentially 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 it's 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 if there was a quite a lot of that kind of stuff just 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 other going to photograph you right from the start when photography began there was always this desire this need to tamper with images photoshop was basically just

a further development of an age old tool back then it was done manually as a brush in. these brushes were often used to bend the truth for propaganda purposes individuals who. would be. or who really. wasn't just murder 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. depicted with women other than his wife. you've avoided the you know how mothers mouse a tongue who didn't 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 from the because it's. and today the drama is being and top more rockets more

smug. pottle of blood replaces a puddle of water. a rolex judged to flush the night she disappeared that's too sweet stains. 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. of all this new style photographer steve mccurry his reputation took a heavy not the discovery course an uproar must fill and photographers have to trample all over the ethics of photojournalism that will tell us the truth stop and

the fake begin it's a question the jew youth will press photo award faces time and time again here 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 the experts could probably spend an entire day debating this whether or not that is crossing a line it was a move of a nice. piece of b.l.o. brisky has much has been part of the of the world press photo award but he's 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 images need to protection conducted by algorithms so why wouldn't photographers take things into their own hands he believes preaching purists is naive. i believe that throughout its history the talk of you has always developed in tandem with what becomes technically possible and that it's impossible to limit these processes is a big. deal of risky lights 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 they come from the 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 on a biscuit manipulation 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 effects new 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 cops are still haven't added anything from another situation to the image but 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. to say we have other possibilities now and that's not a bad thing is that. these

prize winning photographer who 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 a cowardly being 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 or a mistake on my i think skepticism and mistrust a very strong and very negative connotation words. of this no 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 remnant what do refugees leave behind. is a kind of memorial to those who don't make it the cause of death or listed matter of fact really drowning hypothermia or simply. photography can also be an indictment. rather

saying a 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. he catches 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 he makes the invisible visible. as much. as 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 the sceptical sphere as he captures the intangible such as the signals from nations 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 or that's 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. until 3 days 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 sender it was the addressee or them and that plays a decisive part you can't 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. 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 you will be was able to examine the processes themselves with maybe an ego i can come. not all of photographers are looking into the future recovered a file and behave as looking the other way back to the beginnings of photography

try to be as open and this free of care as it's possible at the same time very relaxed where particular moment comes together. very concerned with the surface reality what we see on the surface that assumes that what is underneath the lives of the many many layers of our can border are can be as wandered to the world's big cities with his rather flex lagos' athens 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
