Well you have to submit the raw data the original photograph upon request with that way they can examine how and to what extent the data has been interpreted and then you always get debates about how far photographers are allowed to go with their interpretations but even a black and white image is an abstraction and is a big change in comparison with the supposedly real situation.

Photographer marcus cybil also observes events that move the world in his videos and photos to takes a perspective all his own and no faces no masses of people on the move.
