THE BIG IDEAS


Consider Intentions: Before taking a photograph, ask yourself
why you want to capture the image and what message you want to
convey.

Question Assumptions: Challenge stereotypes and avoid using
individuals as props in your photographs.

Awareness and Responsibility: Understand the power of
photography and the impact your images can have on others.

Ethical Decision-Making: Recognize that ethical choices in
photography are highly personal and context-dependent.
