This special issue of Image [&] Narrative seeks to detail how questions of truth and untruth have always filtered into understandings of the photographic image, and continue to direct meaning even in the current digital environment. Attention is given to explaining how the discourse of photography -- the codes, significations, and aesthetics of photography -- and the different approaches to the process of photography impact understandings of the photograph's relation to truth. Together, the essays confirm that the photograph's subtle encoding of the subjective marks it with an impressive evidentiary power.
