For there to be deceit, the client must not know it has been done. For
deception to matter, it must make a difference
that harms someone.
If I shoot you or your child's wedding, take a gazillion shots, in most of
which the nervous eye twitch the bride,
groom or other important participant has developed under the stress of
preparations has resulted in a half closed eye
which makes that person look like a half-wit.
Would you prefer the 'truthful' shots to some with the few examples of an open
left eye shopped in?
Is such a shot actually deceitful? If the unfortunate with the twitch hasn't
had it before or since, which shots are
truer representations of that person, as opposed to crime scene photos? It is
the same eye of the same person, just at a
slightly different moment in time.*
If that person is you, which images do you want passed on down to your
posterity?

* OK, I'll fess up. Those who look at my posts saw an image where I took the
right eye, flipped it and dropped it in on
the left to correct a terrible reflection in eyeglasses. The client was very
pleased.
