ABUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY WITH PHOTOMONTAGE

Glavna tema diplomske naloge so fotomontaže in njihova zloraba v spletnih in tiskanih medijih. S pomočjo zgodovinskega pregleda fotografije, od nastanka do današnje digitalizacije, razložimo fotomanipulacije in tehnike, s katerimi nastajajo. Predstavimo tudi začetke fotomontaže ter vzroke za izdelavo in objavo fotomontaž v medijih. Pojasniti poskušamo, koliko se popači, prikrije, oziroma manipulira resnica s pomočjo fotomontaž in koliko že z neobdelano fotografijo. Opišemo tudi posledice, ki jih sprožijo objave fotomontaž, od moralno etičnih vidikov, do pravnih uredb ter kodeksov, ki predpisujejo kazni oziroma odškodnine.The main topic of the thesis are photomontages and misuse of photomontage techniques in online and print media. Using historical overview of photography, from its beginnings to today’s digitalization, it presents the beginnings of photomontage and explains photo manipulations and the techniques which are used to illustrate them. It also explains the causes of the production and publication of photomontages in the media. It attempts to identify the extent of distortion, concealment or manipulation of the truth with the help of photomontages, and how much by straight photography. It also describes the consequences triggered by the publication of photomontages. From the moral-ethical aspects, to legal regulations and codes that define the penalties or compensations
