Princess of Wales photo controversy shows we’ve been thinking about edited images the wrong way

Experts have warned of a coming “infocalypse”, and of the consequences for this year’s bumper crop of elections.

Key Points: 
  • Experts have warned of a coming “infocalypse”, and of the consequences for this year’s bumper crop of elections.
  • Yet the biggest story about photographic manipulation so far in 2024 is that the Princess of Wales manually edited a family portrait.
  • The response to this controversy can help us think about the wider challenge of manipulated images and video.

A royal history of faked photographs

  • Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were early enthusiasts, first sitting for photographs in the 1840s.
  • During this time, composite images – which combine multiple exposures into one image – were widespread, owing to the limitations of photographic technology.
  • Some of these composite photographs, such as Henry Peach Robinson’s image Fading Away, were controversial, because of both their subject matter and technique.
  • Before it became possible to directly print photographs in newspapers in 1880, there was a widespread practice of copying photographs into drawings, embellishing them by adding colour and improving the composition.
  • When half-tone printing was introduced, journalists continued to tweak their photographs, with one editor of a photography magazine in 1898 boldly stating that “everybody fakes”.

Solving a social problem

  • Outside of journalistic contexts, we don’t have strong social norms against adding colour to photographs.
  • The problem here isn’t that photo editing software fundamentally undermines our trust in photographs.
  • But the fact that we have those standards, and press organisations were able to respond accordingly, shows we have the tools to manage this problem.
  • But this is a social, not just a technological, problem.
