The rule of reality almost blends the difference between fact and fiction, directing staged events that haven’t happened yet or even too re-enacting those in the past. Documentary photography traditionally has been used to reflect and represent facts. With recent events such as the issue of ‘fake news’, the difference between fact and fiction has become blurry, causing confusion among the public. Because of this, it is also used within the breaking of this rule to either react to present events, remember the past, or anticipate or even predict future events.

By adding personal elements to these images it can also show different outcomes if different decisions had been made, which could drastically effect and reflect a separate reality.

I thought reality was an interesting concept that would allow me to challenge it in a number of different ways. I feel reality photography is a door way for me to capture what goes on in my life and would be something I could do to contrast it too someone else’s in a way of what we do and could be documented in a number of different ways.
