'The camera cannot lie' - meaning and origin of this phrase. Meaning Literal meaning.
Origin Printed photographs began to be available to the general public around the mid 19th century. When this phrase was coined, which appears to be just a few years later, the view that a photograph was a faithful representation of a scene, in a way that a subjective painting could never be, was a reasonable one. After all, the image that falls on the photographic plate is precisely what the camera is pointing at.
Many of the earliest references to the phrase describe people's inability to believe that they look like their photographic portraits. The earliest citation of the precise 'camera cannot lie' phrase I have found is from The Evening News, Lincoln, Nebraska, November 1895, complete with an intimation of the early doubts about the literal truth of the phrase: "Photographers, especially amateur photographers, will tell you that the camera cannot lie. 10 Photography Quotes that Every Photographer Should Know.

Magnum photographers discuss their decisive moment – British Journal of Photography.

She documented the daily excesses of these scantily dressed free spirits, predominantly from the western parts of the globe and privileged enough to be able to escape normal life for months at a time. Rebecca tried to keep her objective distance as a photographer, but obviously she didn't want to miss the party either. Ryan Muirhead. This photographer made a nude zine of her tumblr friends and tinder matches. Fia Yaqub was big on Tumblr before she started sharing her own photography.
Her feed of beautiful nudes arranged in tasteful color-coordinated groupings attracted a following that included legendary fashion photographer Nick Knight.

The fictional worlds evoked in film by director Wes Anderson have such a precise colouration – the very particular pastel-hues that paint the skies, drench the buildings and dress the characters, render Anderson’s microcosms almost dream-like.
The hazy-hued lens through which we peer into the director’s unique world has a retro quality that casts his films in a nostalgia for a time that could have been.

There’s a circular development tank for roll film, and a rectangular one for 4×5 and 5×7. It’s capable of remembering up to 50 different development processes, and each process can involve up to 3 chemicals and 10 individual steps.

How to Revive and Give New Life to Old Film Cameras. Film photography has made a comeback! Some would argue that just like Dre, its been here the whole time. But over the past few years, the aesthetic and cache of film photography has made a strong presence in the zeitgeist of contemporary digital photography. In this entertaining short film by Maison Carnot called "Disassembly," we see how to take an old non-functioning film camera and bring it back to life through a complete disassembly and repurposing of the old gear. The video itself is very well done, and even those not looking to actually take on the daunting task of taking apart every element of a film camera's lens and body, will find it interesting and educational. Being a professional photographer and full time photography professor, I am surrounded by film and digital cameras every day and I have never seen anything like this.
