Photographs whether it be art photos or press photos have differences and similarities. Similarities of them are that there is a message in the picture. The author with the camera wants you as the person viewing the photo to look deep down and come up with a message the picture is trying to portray. Both art and press pictures are made to make you see what is going on and come up with a story of relevance to the picture. The difference between the art photos and press photos is that press photos should never be altered in any way. Press photos should be original and it should be taken as if anyone had taken the photo. If a press photo is altered, it loses its true meaning and the message of the photo becomes harder to grasp. Art photos have been altered in many ways to give a sort of expression coming from the photographer for us as the people viewing the photo to understand their point of view. It is ethically wrong for a press photo to be altered because press photos are supposed to be seen as factual evidence. We as viewers; should not question whether or not the picture is real, or fake. It is supposed to be seen as if we had taken the photo ourselves.
