Фотография в контексте публикации

Abstract

The dynamically developing photography market takes the issue of ethics in photojournalism to a new level. Aphotographic agency a primary supplier of images for press has no idea what context each of its images is going to be presented in. A person granting permission to take his photographs thinks in terms of the current event, whereas his or her pictures might be used in a completely different context. How high do we value a person's right for their pictures? When does a person depicted on a photograph cease to be himself and become an illustration without personality? And how valuable is the opinion and the will of the depicted individual when vast majority of viewers don't associate the picture with any person?
