Ethical Issues

Privacy and Respect- Photographers have to respect peoples needs and privacy. For example, if its a wedding, the photographer would not want to bombard the bride and take lots of photos when she's getting ready, making her feel uncomfortable throughout the day, or job. The photographer has to respect her privacy and maintain a relaxed and professional approach leading to better, more natural photographs. As a photographer, it is important that you have permission off the model to take photos of them and possibly sell them on, whether to magazines, or to use yourself. To do this you must make sure that the model signs a 'Model Release Form' like below.
