"Composed for Camera"
The idea that photographs are truthful documents can no longer be true. Today is an age of post production, in-camera trickery, and collage images. Yet, somehow, people still take images at face value. They assume that, even if the image doesn't look quite "right", what is depicted still happened.
This series aims to expand on that notion. What happened in these images did, in fact, happen in real life and in real time. Post production is minimal and no "smoke and mirrors" were set up. However, if it wasn't for the act of photographing, the scene would have never taken place. When this happens, can one say that these photographs are documents of reality?
