Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Photo editing is tolerated differently in other parts of the world, but in America, there is an extremely low tolerance. Cropping objects out or adding them into photos is always not allowed in the US.

I think this is un-ethical because it's not just changing the color or tone of the photo, but altering the objects in the photograph entirely.

I think that this is the worst because it's a total lie. If nobody was there don't make it your front page photo. If the even was really that important, then the magazine would've had a photographer there.

I think that this is the least un-ethical because the photographer didn't add any new objects or take anything away that wasn't there, it's the same place, at virtually the same time.

Cropping

This is an example of cropping because there are many other people in the photo other than the fireman. However, he was able to crop most of the heads of the other people, creating focus on the fireman.

Depth

This creates depth because the photographer is on the ground, and the photo is centered around a large building towering above him. Also buildings on the left and right appear like towers as well, imposing the fact that he well below the buildings.

Viewpoint

This is an example of viewpoint because of the level the photographer is at. Rather than being on the street, the photographer is at almost the exact level of Towers, creating a more even view of them.
