Photography & Ethics

• Self-reflective
• Own ethical code (which might change)
• Boris Mikhailov - Ukraine series (1998) Pays venerable people to pose in certain ways, decline of body and mind
• Germaine Greer quote on Diane Arbus
• Arnold Newman - Alfred Krupp (1963), subjective and how Newman wanted Krupp portrayed
• As a developing practitioner I need to decide what to do
• Is there a universal code or are they subjective
• Can i look in the mirror?
• What might the consequences be?
• No such thing as a simple checklist, honesty in gradation of photography
• Bert Stern - Marilyn Cross (1962), some images were crossed through with lipstick by Monroe but used after her death
• Paparazzi - hounding Ami Winehouse
• Mike Urban - Crowd Picture, handed to police
• Russell Sorgi - Buffalo suicide (1942)
• James Nachtwey - 9/11
• What you are prepared to photograph might be different from what you are prepared to print
