Ethics of Photography

Lindsey Dosch

Photography, as both an art form and a means of documentation, wields a lot of power in shaping narratives and perceptions, but this power comes with ethical responsibilities that extend far beyond the act of capturing an image. Where is the line drawn that makes a photo unethical? When does the use of a camera go from documenting reality to exploiting others for our own gain? How do you ensure consent? This zine explores these questions through articles and interviews from professional and practicing photographers in order to get the full scope of what it really means to photograph ethically.
