A few days ago, I came across a fascinating discussion on social media. Someone had posted an iconic picture of Tina Turner on the Eiffel Tower, shot by Peter Lindberg for the cover of her single Foreign Affair.

A commenter had the gall to dismiss it as a fake, saying nobody would’ve risked the life of such a big star for this picture, prompting another user to answer, “Sad that Photoshop has taken away the legitimacy of real photography. ” This is the kind of question we at the Phoblographer feel most drawn to. Has Photoshop really damaged the legitimacy of what we do? Has it made people suspicious of visual media?. thephoblographer.com
