Photo Editing

Photo editing has entered a very negative light these days. From altering photo shoots in magazines to cover-ups in conspiracy theories, editing is now seen as a tool of deception and a creator of insecurities. But editing is also meant to alter photos for aesthetic appeal; essentially the photographer becomes the painter and has a larger set of tools to choose from when deciding to express him or herself through photographs. 

Here we have an example of a photograph that heavily depends on photo editing tools for its composition. The artist has added an element to the picture that would not exist in the real world and yet it fits quite seamlessly. Artist uses other tweaks such as turning picture black and white.
