Week 5: Power and Responsibility

As an image maker, and photographic storyteller, ethical and moral obligations are something I am greatly concerned about.  Particularly because I often deal with society's most vulnerable members- it's children.  Particularly for my project I am hoping to feature children as my subjects who have been through or are currently experiencing hard childhood things.  Sensitive issues and sensitive subjects I want to make sure they are portrayed appropriately. My purpose is to create nature based calming 'healing' images that will be donated to be used to bless the lives and give strength to many children currently experiencing similar anxiety filled situations but I would never want to be accused of exploitation for my own professional benefit.  It will be a fine line to walk on.
