Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1. Whenever photographers manipulate photographs it is usually to dramatize the photo, but it usually ends up with their demise in the photography world. A lot of this photo manipulation happens in the Middle East pertaining to exentuating war photos. It is present in the Middle East, but not limited to. Wherever photo manipulation is taken place, it is usually exposed, and taken care of.

2. This type of photo editing is unethical because most of them capture important events that would go down in history. It is important that our history is real and unaltered. It is also unnecessary because I believe these photos would have been impactful without the alterations, as minute and trivial as they were. Also the Israel cabinet one exemplified sexism, and I am very opposed to such mockery towards women.
