As someone who takes a lot of photographs, I feel there's a small amount of truth to this.
The exchange between photographer and subject in my view must always be a respectful one, never and exploitative one.
The intention of the photographer is also vitally important. (Think Bill Henson Scandal earlier this year)
It is with this in mind that I ask you to read and reflect on the following news story:
"Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman, currently starring in the Batman movie The Dark Knight, was in serious condition in hospital Monday after a car accident in Mississippi where witnesses said he had to be freed with the Jaws of Life. When one person tried to snap a photo with a cellphone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies." (Associated Press)
The man is seriously injured and trapped in his car, being freed with the Jaws of Life, and someone sticks a phone camera in his face?
Reportage or just plain disrespectful?
