Fraibi aksbandi OR Jali dar asli aksbandi

Definition from own experience or research:
fauxtography is a term not an English word so as teachers says a term should be translated in term so a term can be in slang like Fankari or faraibi aksbandi seems better.

Example sentence(s):

Fraudulent photography. News images that have been faked by various means, generally to promote an ideological agenda or to manipulate the emotions of the viewer. (Derived from a combination of the French term faux meaning “false,” and “-tography,” the second half of the word “photography.”) - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph
Staged, doctored, or misleadingly cropped or labeled photographs intended as war propaganda, particularly to further the interests of terrorist groups such as Hizbollah and Hamas. Term popularized by Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs. - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph

Explanation:
Like some time we can not translate word to word , Name, slang or sound this is also same so i think fraibi aksbandi is better translation.
