Faux Photography

I think that this kind of fake/overlapped/embellished photography is amazing. Using this kind of photography allows the artist to create situations and atmospheres that were once reserved for either paintings or special effects. The only drawback I see with this kind of artwork is with the interpretation of such pictures. To me, if the artist does not label their work with a disclaimer that the photo is not 100% real, then they are bordering on plagiarism. While the works are great and visually mesmerizing, they need to be labeled as such.
