The other side of photo manipulation is that of whats in the picture apart from the model. Backgrounds and s
urroundings can trick the eye of thousands, and what looks to be real may actually be at the imagination of the photographer. A photographer can add and remove whatever they do and dont want in the pictureand is quite often done.
