Edwin Zwakman:
Zwakman works with the reality in photos by constructing landscapes
from personal memory. He then photogra
phs the objects as if it is a real scene.
Thomas Demand:
Demand creates miniature
dioramas out of paper to mimic real life places such as the oval office, and the grottos. Demand then photographs these photos in a way that makes it seem like the photographer was actually in that very room and that it is not just a diorama made out of paper, but an actual space.
Naoki Honjo:
Honjo does sort of the opposite with his work than my project. His photos are of real life scenes but taken at such a distance that the seem like little plastic architectures and figurines.
Courtney Beckett:
Beckett is a photographer that takes very commercial advertisement like picture
s of food.
Slinkachu:
Slinkachu is a street photographer who hand makes little figurines and puts them into the real world so they are basically interacting with reality. This is wonderful for the commentary on real versus fake in photography.

The article is entitled "Reality vs. Actuality: A Construction of the Truth" and it is written by Carly Cannell. In her article she discussion that due to the immense amount of images we are subjected to everyday (mainly advertisements) are perception of reality as begun to change.
