Week one research - Challenging truth

When asked to find an image that "challenges the idea of truth in photography" I immediately thought of forced perspective. Forced perspective is when you take a photo at such an angle that the foreground and background seem to be one. Essentially "forcing" the viewer to see something a certain way. These types of photos are very popular right now, and are usually meant to be comical.
I chose this image because I like it. It's a great example of forced perspective because you can see how the woman appears to be drinking the cloud, but of course we know this cannot be the case.
