Manipulation of Images Digital and non digital



Non digital. Cottingley Fairies. 1917. Two young girls in East Yorkshire take photos of the fairies they play with at the bottom of their garden. In an age of early photography 'the camera never lies' people including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote the Sherlock Holmes stories were convinced by the photos. The fairies to our eyes accustomed to manipulated or illusionist images look like the paper cut outs pinned to the bush that they were, but in an more innocent age paintings were illusions and photographs were real.

more information

Pablo Inirio 1950s photographer has annotated his photos with detailed instructions of how he is going to vary the exposure of different parts of the print to manipulate the exposure of the image. Dodging and burning. Masking out areas of the photographic paper to increase exposure and make areas darker (burning) or decrease exposure and make areas lighter (dodging)

So photos have been manipulated outside the camera for as long as there have been photographs.

Illusions with or without photoshop

Philippe Ramette is a French conceptual artist who plays with the viewer’s mind. Ramette creates gravity-defying photographs that appear to be digitally manipulated, using cleverly designed weight-bearing structures (or lead weights for the underwater shots), but in fact they are real world settings that were carefully arrangement, in order to achieve these impressive scenes.
