“I think we all hope for some hidden secret ability to root out the truth by detecting subtle behaviors and tells,” says Street. “Reality is less forgiving. Across many research studies over the decades, our best estimate of people’s lie detecting ability is ever so slightly better than guessing, with an accuracy of 54 percent, when 50 percent could be achieved by guessing at random.”
While there is research suggesting that liars give off behavioral cues one influential paper claims that bluffers tend to tell simpler stories with narrower vocabulary and more negative emotion words Street ascribes this skein of psychology largely to the realm of TV. “Popular fiction tells us that there may be subtle indicators of deception in the liar’s behavior,” he says. However, “when we lie, we do not give ourselves away so easily. If our lies were so readily detectable, we would likely choose not to lie in the first place.”

The RPS International Photography Exhibition (IPE) is a unique celebration of photography today, presenting work which offers insight into current approaches to photography, comments on contemporary issues, and introduces you to new photographers and image-makers from across the world.
The IPE is formed from an annual international open call, which is open to everyone to participate. Each year, the IPE features a wide range of subjects, genres, and experimental techniques, including traditional photographic processes, and each edition welcomes a new guest selection panel who curate the exhibition.
The selection panel for the IPE 162 included Shannon Ghannam (Global Education Director at Magnum Photos), Skinder Hundal MBE (CEO/Director of New Art Exchange), Dr Yan Wang Preston (Photographic Artist and lecturer at the University of Huddersfield) and Cian Oba-Smith (Editorial and Commercial Photographer), who were joined by RPS Director of Education, Dr Michael Pritchard.
