Photo Ethics Statement:
When taking photographs, my main objective is to tell a story. Whether it’s someone else’s story or my own, I always strive to capture a moment in its most candid state and interfere as little as possible. This makes for a more genuine outcome and helps prevent misinformation.
I always uphold my moral and ethical values while taking pictures. I do not distort or alter photos in any way to skew the meaning. If there were edits made, it is solely for enhancement purposes. Also, I always make sure the people in my photos consent to being in any of my work. Privacy and transparency are very important.
Ultimately, I aim to tell my subject’s story in a positive and accurate way while practicing basic photo ethics.
