photopreneur discovered 7 months ago- From the page: "Photoshop might have made it easy to create faked photographs, but you donâ€t need fancy editing skills to manipulate the truth. Photographers have been faking images almost as long as theyâ€ve been making them simply by setting up shots that look natural. Here are some of the world's most infamous staged photos."

- Biased, contemptible review of staged photography. Sorry but the flag raising is be definition a "staged" shot because of the fact that they replaced the original flag with the larger one and OMG a photographer "happened" to be on hand.

- O.K. Who says THOSE Fairies are fake? I know a couple of them myself. Photoshop might have made it easy to create faked photographs, but you don't need fancy editing skills to manipulate the truth. Photographers have been faking images almost as long as they've been making them simply by setting up shots that look natural.

- Staged Photographs Of Fairies. From The Page; Photography: Elsie Wright In 1917, Elsie Wright, 16, and her cousin Frances Griffith, 10, borrowed a camera belonging to Elsie's father and took two pictures of what the girls claimed were fairies in Cottingley Beck, England. Initially, the images were authenticated by some of the leading photography experts of the time although Kodak was less convinced, arguing that there were many ways to fake images like these. Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories and a believer in spiritualism, saw the photos, was convinced that they were genuine and wrote about them in The Strand in 1920. The article created a media storm and the girls took three more pictures showing fairies dancing and enjoying a sun bath. It was only in 1978 that a researcher spotted that the fairies were identical to drawings in Princess Mary's Gift Book, a children's book published in 1917. Three years later the girls, then in their late seventies, admitted that they had staged four of the five images using paper cut-outs and hatpins. Frances continued to claim that the fifth image was genuine.
