Ethics and Photography

Prosecution- Diane Arbus

  • Prejudiced highlighting a vulnerable and strange/ disabled individuals.
  • Twins, Disabled.
  • Highlighting and singling them out making them seen abnormal when they are still regular humans.
  • Her work is to provoke an opinions on the subjects.
  • Exploiting these individuals and hasn't provided or given some agreement/ friendship but used them to make money.
  • Not raising awareness of the problems but using interesting people to make interesting images.
  • Would you be happy if these were pictures of you.
  • Daughter used her work for money tarnishing her mothers name. The book Untitled 24 years off.

Defence- Richard Prince
  • On social media for anyone to see and use. Becomes an image of instagram.
  • Comments on work to provide some form of creative control and to change the meaning and focus of the image.
  • Still gave credit to the accounts it was posted on.
  • An account was selling an image for £90 but some of Richards work for $100,000. The account should have watermarked their work to protect the image.
  • Link the image to a website where copyright law can come into effect.
  • Not paying for the photo more interested in his comment wanting his art.
  • People are flattered to be chosen and a quote from one of the subjects 'it was an honour'.
  • It is similar to sharing any news or other pages/ tweets except we don't change anything but he has commented making a change.
  • Instagram say that if there is a problem contact them directly as there is different copyright laws.

Ethics and Photography Research

In photography ethics can play a very vital role in how individuals produce and create work due to restraints, whether that is legal or classed as a gentleman's agreement amongst other members of the art world. The thing is ethics can be very broad and can incorporate a bunch of different factors about copyright, types of subjects used, ethnicities and a whole range of other variables.  For starters the main issue that causes a lot of tension between artists is the fact that many can copy a piece of work directly or indirectly. Meaning they might copy a very small part such as a similar idea or way of capturing their image, or directly in which they make work that is virtually a direct copy of someone else's work while trying to pass it off as their own and something brand new. An example of this is Sherrie Levine's "After Walker Evans" in which she essentially made a like for like copy of Walker Evans work from his "American Photographs". Many people di...

Portfolio Review

Portfolio Review 4:  • Uni vs Home life  Positives:  • Very clear images/ good quality  • Paints an image of their life at home an uni  Negatives:   • Quite bland colour pallet  • No set order so can be confusing to work out what represents what  1   Positives:  • Allows the viewer to almost make their own assumptions about what the photos are showing • Collective of images works well as it’s a full body of work rather than really jumpy between the images  Negatives:  • Very dark • Quite confusing as to what it’s about  • The borders take away the effect from the image.  3:  Positives:  • Effective way of presenting the images in the sleeves  • Sophisticated way of laying out the images trying all different ways to see what works well. • Beautiful and clear portraits of the subjects used  • Outfits are really eye catching in a lot of the full body portraits.  Negati...

My Website

With my website i decided to go with a stylish design that is prominent but still keeps class and an aesthetic throughout. I tried out a variety of different website builder sites (Squarespace, Wix, GoDaddy, Weebly) However, after careful consideration and what worked best for me, i stuck with Wix. This was mainly due to cost of the website, ease of use and also the options that were available to me to not only improve the look of my website but also functionality and also collating a domain name. But, with all the payment plans available Wix doesn't force you to pay for your website until you are satisfied and want to have a professional look for everybody to see. However, you can post your website without paying but Wix put a couple of ad banners in places. In my opinion i felt that i'm not ready to promote myself on a website i have payed for because i haven't gained enough worthy experience to want to pay for the site. So for now i have the ads on the site but would obv...
