Perception, Authenticity & Simulation (Dissertation)

Below is a dissertation submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of bachelor of arts (honours) in Photography. Authenticity, perception and simulation within photography is an interesting subject that ties in well with the human mind and modern day living along with the rapid developments within technology. Hopefully some truth about photography and art can be unraveled as we explore the origins of image fabrication right through to modern day photographers like Peter Funch and Andreas Gursky. I hope you enjoy reading.
