Morals in Photographing



Every person has their own set of moral principles that they live by, same as in the workplace companies have codes of practice that they follow. Some codes are obvious such as doctors swearing the Hippocratic Oath but in the photographic industry their is no specific code as what is allowed and what isn't, this is only limited to the photographers personal moral code.

Many practices are widely agreed to be morally wrong and are avoided however not by everybody. This includes Street Photography as many people feel it's wrong to take photographs of people that haven't given permission, it is also a touchy subject to photograph children without permission from the parents and personally I would not photograph anybody without permission as I would not like to be in their position.

Decisions are not always easy as people may have conflicting morals and it creates a very complex dilemma.
