Great story about art photographer Robert Misrach having his image on the iPad in a 5 year licensing deal with Apple. The photograph was shot on a 10×8 large format camera. Film meets digital!

There’s nothing that sells like sex – everyone knows how it’s done and why it’s done, but they’re always interested in who’s doing it with whom. And that’s why sex scandals make headlines and dominate everything else, even the most serious of issues. The Tiger Woods story is one of fame and fortune biting the dust because of illicit sex and torrid affairs, and because of the beautiful models and all the sex involved, it’s been lapped up by every newspaper in the world. But going even beyond Woods and his many girlfriends, some people found their thrills by circulating emails that had naked pictures of a woman who was supposedly Tiger’s wife, former model Elin Nordegren. The jokes were only too obvious – why was Tiger playing the field when he had someone so hot and sexy back home?
Those photos are probably fake, and any Google search will tell you that Elin sued a newspaper in Ireland for publishing them as her pictures. With Photoshop and other photo editing tools that are available today, it’s easy to alter and doctor a photo any way you want if you know the tricks of the trade. And with the numerous fakes that are flooding the market, especially in the nude celebrity and sex picture category, people are not bothered about authenticity anymore. For them, in their minds, they are ogling at a celebrity’s naked body, and that is the ultimate thrill of all.
Although there are ways to spot fake and trick photographs, most of us don’t know how to do so. More often, we don’t even question the photos as fakes and believe that they are authentic. The advent of digital photography, software tools like Photoshop and the pervasive nature of the Internet has had both positive and negative connotations for the world of photography – today, it’s easy to fake photos and circulate them to all parts of the world in a matter of seconds. And even if they’re proved fake at a later date, the perpetrators don’t care because their purpose has been solved. They have gained their time in the spotlight and made their money as well.
But for those who are affected, fake photography is almost movie piracy – those out to make a quick buck turn to unethical ways to do so, and in the process, they bring disrepute to the world of photography in general. It’s not something that can be controlled, simply because the tools and means to make fake photos are easy to find, as is the money involved in this business.
