YOUR LENS, YOUR TRUTH (Shutter Hub x Sainsbury Centre)

Sometimes seen as superior to text, photographs are now a mainstay of how the media and the public understand events such as war, famine, and celebrity. Is what we see in the image the truth of the subject being photographed? If a single photograph of an event is taken through one frame, by one photographer and potentially filtered by one news editor, do you believe photographs can tell the whole truth?

In response to The Camera Never Lies: Challenging images through The Incite Project, Shutter Hub and Sainsbury Centre present YOUR LENS, YOUR TRUTH – a collaborative project presenting photographers interpretations of truth through photography.
