Photos that can lie

I posted the one of me carrying my girlfriend on Instagram. People know the fact that’s me carrying her, but then they left comment like “It’s a quite interesting photo.” I would say the “lie” of this photo is not done on purpose. The “lie” of this photo is created accidentally.

I asked some of my friends to take a look at photos that I took for classes. For the Lego New York one, everyone knew that this wasn’t real New York city, but they still found it was a interesting one to look at. I think one thing making the Lego NYC compelling is that it is “lying”, but it is also telling viewers the fact of “lying”. The other one with four feet is much more “real” for viewers. It’s trying to hide the truth. These two photos are both “lying photos”, but in different ways.
