Photographic ethics

Photographic ethics refers to the principles guiding responsible and respectful photography. It involves honoring people's privacy, obtaining consent when photographing individuals, especially in private or sensitive situations, and avoiding manipulation that misleads viewers. Ethical photographers aim to portray subjects honestly without exploitation, distortion, or harm. They consider cultural sensitivities and ensure their images do not perpetuate stereotypes or infringe on dignity. Ultimately, photographic ethics promote integrity, honesty, and respect in capturing and sharing images, fostering trust between photographers, subjects, and viewers.
