Fascinating Examples of Digital Photo Manipulations in the Arts

, rocked the establishment press of the time. He brought to the attention and exposed to the public at large, the relative ease of digital photo manipulation, challenging their established beliefs in photography as a truism as being no longer valid, the joining again of Politics and art. In his pieces titled 'Queen Elizabeth what if...?' and 'Michael Jackson what if...?' Kalman changed the skin colours of his subjects, to raise awareness as to how people are categorized according to their skin tones. Ironically, Michael Jackson in real life did undergo such a metamorphosis, to which the general public reacted with abhorrence at this slant to popular culture arts. Kalman's work although not involving manipulation of multiple images, did play an important role in educating the public at large as to the potential future with digital photo manipulation.
