The “TTG-IC” version of the TTG label

As stipulated in P8 of the Trust Test

TTG photographers use the “TTG-IC” version of the TTG label to avoid deception when “inapparent circumstances” make a photo look like something other than what it is.

Examples: a zoo animal that looks like it’s in the wild, a staged scene that looks spontaneous, a trick photo, an optical illusion, and any other photo that does not depict what it appears to depict.

 

Every photo ever made has “inapparent circumstances” behind it, so...

When is TTG-IC needed?

The “TTG-IC” label is required only when there are “inapparent circumstances that rinairs would separately alert viewers about.”

If a trusted information provider would not separately alert viewers, then the TTG photographer can use the plain “TTG” label.

What about posed and staged photographs?
