Manipulation has always been a key aspect to photography. Using photos to communicate has become increasinly popular since the first photograph was taken in 1826. Whether its cutting key elements out of a picture to make it mean something else or cropping the piture to make the viewer have a different outlook, every picture tells some kind of story.
In this picture Stalin had his commissar removed from the photo when he fell from power because he was considered an enemy, so through history when people viewed this picture no-one would have known that there was even another man there.
This picture was taken from the Veitnam war.
