Photo Manipulation

Photos have been manipulated in the media for many years to give off many different meanings and opinions towards the picture. In the olden days, during the times of the 2nd world war, pictures were being edited by removing people from the picture, this was done by airbrushing the picture to make it look like the person or a certain object was never there. In recent days this is done more professionally using computers and different softwares. A lot of this is done in pictures of modelling where they've taken the head from one person and put on to a body of another, to make them look better.
Photographs are also cropped to hide certain parts of the picture to change our views and how the picture is represented to us. You can remove the vital object within the decisive moment of the picture which changes the context and the perspective.
Juxtaposition is one image which is placed next to another. This is used to change the meaning of the event completely and also change the concept behind a photo. Different people have a different perspective on the same image which can alter the meaning in many ways.
