“A photograph isn't necessarily a lie, but nor is it the truth. It's more of a fleeting, subjective impression. What I most like about photography is the moment that you can't anticipate: you have to be constantly watching for it, ready to welcome the unexpected.” MomentsLyingReadyPhotographyPhotographImpressionWelcomeUnexpectedFleetingSubjectiveAnticipate Author:Martine Franck

“Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate. Most of the photographs in your paper, unless they are hard news, are lies. Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality... Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.” PeopleHardShowsRealityLyingRolesFashionPaperPhotographyNewsPhotographDeceptionPropagandaGlamorous Author:Martin Parr
