Question

Because the camera appears to capture an image of an event as it exactly occurred, viewers often believe that the resulting photograph is _______ record of events.

1) an accurate
2) an incomplete
3) a manipulated
4) a fictional

Answer 1

The resulting photograph is an accurate record of events, but it is not a complete record as it only captures a specific perspective and moment in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is 1) an accurate record of events

Photographs that haven't been manipulated in a darkroom or digitally reproduce the subject in front of the camera as it exists in the moment the shutter opens and closes. However, it's important to note that a photograph is not a complete record of events because it only captures a specific perspective and moment in time. The decisions made by the photographer, such as the location, timing, and equipment used, affect the resulting image.
