I don't think photos ever lie; photographs capture a genuine moment, whether it's posed or candid. Interpretations of the photograph, however, can differ. Pictures can be just like art in that way, because both can be construed differently depending on the person.
Photos can also tell a story about the photographer, because we see how he or she sees the world. Not to mention that we can tell if the photographer is talented or not.
In the end, photographs don't lie, but then again, truth is an inconsistent idea.
