1!Media Ethics In Professional Photojournalism
While working as a Media Education Intern in Brooklyn, New York, I came across various projects related to filmmaking and Photography. One of the earliest projects of these projects was street photography, in which I was provided with a task to take pictures of random places and random people (of course once they have given their consent). The whole idea of this project was that interns can get to know the town better, get comfortable in taking pictures of random people, and also learn how to deal with the idea of rejection (if someone does not give their consent for taking a picture). Once I have taken a specific amount of pictures, I was told to edit them (work on exposure, discard t
he blur ones, etc.), and then submit them to the supervisor. While I was editing, I came across a picture of the street, taken at Linden Blvd in Brownsville, Brooklyn. This picture had trash on the left side of the road and I just decided to crop it out of the picture. My supervisor asked me not to do so as I was purposely hiding something from the audience and portraying a place better than it is in reality. I realized that how easily a picture can be manipulated and be portrayed as what is not to an audience. Another aspect of this project made me realize that is it ethical to take all types of pictures of people in the public sphere. In the USA, it is perfectly legal to take pictures of anyone as long as the person is in a public place, but since some people did not allow me to take their picture, I began to think about the moral and ethical values I hold as a photographer.
