So-called "realist" photography does not capture the "what is."...Every time we are being photographed, we spontaneously take a mental position on the photographer's lens just as his lens takes a position on us. Even the most savage of tribesmen has learned how to spontaneously strike a pose. Everybody knows how to strike a pose within a vast field of imaginary reconciliation.

(Jean Baudrillard, Photography, Or The Writing Of Light, English trans. Francois Debrix, 2000)
