Spanish term or phrase: toma directa

This term refers to a photograph shot directly from the camera without digital intervention or editing or touch ups or anything like that. It means, essentially, just shooting what is before the lens. Is there a word in English? I am not convinced by either "direct shot" or "direct take".
Thanks

There is a widespread recognition that using a digital medium for photography makes it much more prone than film to "image manipulation", whatever this means. Recent reports of press agencies distributing "manipulated" photographs makes the subject timely. ***What is "image manipulation", and where lies the border between "straight" and "manipulated" images?** Is the problem more widespread in digital photography, indeed?

Straight Photography as opposed ot Digital Photography

Paul Strand was an American who was taught photography by one of his school teachers, Lewis Hine, and who became a successful photographer. He was greatly influenced by the Photo-Secession group, and made some superb abstract close-up pictures.

Initially he did some experimental work in the medium, but then moved over to what we know as **straight photography - work which relied totally upon subject, viewpoint and choice of lighting, rather than upon any manipulation at either the negative or the printing stage.***

I have also come across ****PURE PHOTOGRAPHY*** so maybe PURE SHOT would also be correct.

Pure photography refers to photography that attempts to depict a scene as realistically and objectively as permitted by the medium, renouncing the use of manipulation.

Founded in 1932, Group f/64 who championed purist photography, had this to say:

Pure photography is defined as possessing no qualities of technique, composition or idea, derivative of any other art form.

The term emerged in the 1880s to mean simply ***an unmanipulated photographic print***, in opposition to the composite prints of Henry Peach Robinson or the soft-focus painterly images of some pictorialist photographers. At first, **straight photography** was a viable choice within pictorialism, as, for example, the work of Henry Frederick Evans. Paul Strand's 1917 characterization of his work as ‘absolute unqualified objectivity’ described a change in the meaning of the term. It came to imply a specific aesthetic typified by higher contrast, sharper focus, aversion to cropping, and emphasis on the underlying abstract geometric structure of subjects. Some photographers began to identify these formal elements as a language for translating metaphysical or spiritual dimensions into visual terms. This emphasis on the unmanipulated silver print dominated modernist photographic aesthetics into the 1970s.
