Some people misunderstand that photoes show us everything of the reality. But the idea is wrong.

Photograhy is a form of art. It's the art that a photographer can convey his idea through his perspective. They can be distorted intentionally by the photographer.

Believability depends on how the photographer takes a scene out of a whole sight.

If he wants to hide a dark side of the reality, he has only to exclude the dark side.  

In newspapers and on TV, pictures are used to imform the reality and truth. They are very helpful to understand what is going on globally.

In this high-tech age, however, images are easily modified or changed favorably to  the photographers and even mass medias.
