Ethics Statement:
For this assignment, I aimed to photograph real emotions while respecting the dignity and comfort of every person I captured. I made sure to ask permission before taking photos of people and worked to portray them honestly, without staging moments that would distort the truth. My goal was to show genuine joy, connection, and everyday life in my community, while avoiding images that could misrepresent anyone involved. Through this, I committed to upholding fairness, honesty, and respect in my work as a student journalist.
