This kind of "truth" is called "a snapshot" and since neither artistry nor
intellect are necessary, they are as common as icewater.  :-)

 BTW, we must not forget that the taking lens occupies a particular place and
time, and so is limited by its perspective.  It is therefore subjective!  And
a 2D photograph is a lie! (Ever thought of that?)  = - 0   And, and, and...a
black and white photograph is utter trickery, and deviousness.

Camera's do not record "truth"; a camera paints light onto the celluloid
canvas.  Just as any tool, it shapes the reality which it is to render.
