Throughout history people have manipulated photographs to give the public a biased or different view than they would usually see. Photographs help those in multiple countries see what is happening around the world, however to get a stronger effect, photographers edit images to give a stronger image than what was previously shot.
They say an image speaks a thousand words which is true in all honesty. You can look at a short video and then look at an image which was taken of one of the videos clips and you feel a stronger pull for the image. You have more time to look an interpret what you are seeing, however with digital editing, you don't always get to see the true view.
Photo manipulation was used back in war times and is what we now see on the front of gossip magazines.
This image above is of Stalin; one of which has him standing alone beside the river, the other including an image of a water commissar. This water commissar is known as Nikolai Yezhov, he fell from power and was later shot. Stalin had him removed from his photographs.
