Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1. This story focuses on the ethical view of the way  some photographers manipulate their photos. Many important photographers have done it and many of them have lost their jobs because of it. In the Middle East this happens very often, an example of photo manipulation is the Iran missile test launch in July 2008. This was done by the media branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, during the missile test one of the missile fail to fire so they duplicated one of the other three missiles and release the picture.

2. I don't think this photo editing is acceptable in some cases, I think photographer should always say the truth in their photos because we don't like to be given the wrong information on purpose. They might be exceptions were a photographer can edit the photo but no in an exaggerated way or to completely change it.

I think this manipulated photo is the most unethical from the rest of the photos because during the meeting of Clinton and Castro there was not a photographer and they completely made a new image. No one knows that Clinton was that happy to see a men like Fidel Castro who was a communist president.

I consider this the least unethical photo, I think is not that bad to alter just a little just to make it fit into the magazine cover.
