Your definition of fake doesn't leave a great deal of room for real photographs, though.
I'm not sure there's a professional photographer alive that doesn't run their images through Photoshop or Lightroom to make final adjustments to things like white balance and contrast.
A lot of smartphones do adjustments like these automatically, so that would make those fake as well.
