analog photography has often been referred to as a reflection of reality because it uses the natural bouncing of light into the camera. In contrast digital technology uses coding to create image.
The reading talks and questions whether an image existing in a digital newspaper is less reliable or 'real' than one printed in a physical newspaper. This is a concept I find interesting. Is an image less real if it only exists in digital form?
Does the ability to enhance and manipulate digital image make it less real. This is one reason why some consider analog photography to be a better representation of real life. But in my opinion it is down to personal experience and presentation which reflects in image- digital or analog. Every version of reality is someones 'real' experience.
I don't think that whether a picture was created using analog or digital photography can determine whether a photo is real or not.
