  1. Photo ethics in a digital world Mrs. Verpooten Miss Wadycki Mrs. Lolkema

  2. Ethics • The National Press Photographers Association says that “editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images' content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.”

  3. Photo Illustrations • Computer art that begins with a digitized photograph. Using image enhancement software, the artist can then apply a variety of special effects to transform the photo into a work of art.

  4. Any time a photo is manipulated beyond reasonable standards, it becomes known as a photo illustration and must be labeled that way.

  5. The Cat is OK! • The cat was asleep for this illustration. Don’t worry…it’s ok.

  6. Ethics • Sometimes, photographers go too far in their editing. • This is just as bad as making up quotes or people for a story. • Often, photographers do this to get the “best” photo they can to tell a story.

  7. The LA Times published this photo by Brian Walski in March of 2003.

  8. The photo outraged readers who thought a soldier shouldn’t hold a gun to a baby and father.

  9. But it was fake.

  10. Notice the man on the left. You can see his back again on the right of the soldier’s knee.

  11. The photographer combined this image of the soldier raising a gun…

  12. With this photo of him talking to the father.

  13. He was fired.

  14. Newsweek gets busted! • In this breach of ethics, editors at Newsweek magazine gave a woman nicer teeth.

  15. Time gets busted, too!

  16. Time gets busted, too! • Both covers ran OJ Simpson’s mug shot from when he was booked in jail. • Obviously, Time altered the photo. • The photographer that manipulated it said he "wanted to make it more artful, more compelling."

  17. Art vs. Journalism • So where does journalism end and art begin? • It’s a hazy line. • Here are some examples from people who couldn’t tell how far was too far.

  18. Pyramids? • This photographer actually moved a pyramid. • They were further apart, but he wanted his horizontal image to fit on the vertical cover.

  19. Kent State University

  20. Kent State University

  21. Kent State University • May 1970: Pulitzer Prize-winning photo by John Filo shows Mary Ann Vecchio screaming as she kneels over the body of student Jeffrey Miller at Kent State University on May 4, 1970 -- after being fired upon by National Guardsmen. • They removed the pole from behind her head!

  22. See Anything Different?

  23. UW-Madison • They added the African America student into the crowd to show more diversity.

  24. Do You See Anything Different?

  25. Do You See Anything Different?

  26. Oprah? • August 26, 1989: TV Guide pastes Oprah's head onto Ann Margaret's body

  27. Virginia Tech

  28. Virginia Tech • New York Post edited this photo.

  29. Kate? • This GQ cover of Kate Winslett led the Titanic star to make a public statement about the way it was retouched.

  30. Kate Winslett? "The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly I don't desire to look like that," she said. "I actually have a Polaroid that the photographer gave me on the day of the shoot… I can tell you they've reduced the size of my legs by about a third. For my money it looks pretty good the way it was taken."

  31. Julia Roberts • "Based on her hairstyle, her head comes from the January 2002 People's Choice Awards," said a source close to Roberts. "Her body seems to be from the premiere of 'Notting Hill'" - which opened in London in April 1999, when the actress wore the glittery red dress shown.

  32. Julia Roberts • Julia’s reps said that while most people wouldn’t mind seeing themselves four years ago, Julia did. • Plus, they didn’t even do a good job, they said. Her normally “swan like” neck looks squat and stubby.

  33. Katie Couric and CBS

  34. Katie Couric and CBS • The photo alteration was done by someone in the CBS photo department who "got a little zealous." • Katie Couric told the Daily News, “I liked the first picture better because there's more of me to love."

  35. Rosie O’Donnell
