Ethical considerations

Given a theory of visual communication that combines words and images in equally respectful ways, knowing the difference between aesthetics, etiquette, and ethics, and studying the moral philosophies that have been employed for specific communicative purposes, all contributors are required to consider the following before submitting images:

Does the taking and displaying of the picture fit the social responsibility of the lecturer?

Has anyone's rights been violated in the taking and displaying of the picture?

Does the display of the image meet the needs of the viewers?

Does the picture choice reflect moderation?

Does the professional choice reflect empathy for the subject's experience?

Could a professional justify the choice if she didn't know which of the parties (subject, shooter, or viewer) she would turn out to be?

Does the visual message cause unjustified harm?

Is the image offensive?

Is the close-up image intrusive?
