Photo Manipulation & Ethics

In the industry of photo news; there are many photographers and not all are ethically inclined to send in proper photographs they had taken. Photographers caught manipulating photos can face huge issues of distrust and loss of credibility. Once that credibility is lost, careers in this industry can shatter. News companies are looking for honest photographers following guidelines set in the community. The pictures shown as examples in the blog are all very unethical. Making photographs appear as something they aren't is something no one should attempt to do.

In this photo shown, the photographer edited the man holding his child near the armed army officer holding his hand up in the direction of the man. In reality, the man is further back in the picture away from the officer.
