'The grey area' to me kind of reflects an area that is unknown or confusing.
However 'the grey area' is defined as a topic that isn't one thing or the other- ambiguous liminal zone. It is an area between two mutually exclusive states- where the border between the two can be described as 'fuzzy'.
In our society we are made to believe that photographs are all reliable and real. This is because, compared to a painting we believe it is more direct when taking a picture. This is because when the sun shines on the model in the portrait it comes from the sun, onto the model and bounces of the model into the camera as well as the photographers eyes. However, with a painting the sun shines from the sun onto the model, to bounce of into the painters eyes and hand. Therefore a picture seems more direct as a camera captures the real details, however we all know pictures are not actually that accurate as they can be edited or adjusted (e.g. brightness).
