Photo Manipulation Response
I think a (journalistic) photographer should be honest and representative as accurate as possible of their subject, especially if the photo is being published or shared with a large number of people. If a photographer is showing false of the subject, they aren't being fair and even though its not as important, they aren't following the golden rule. They would probably be furious if this happened to them, so why do it to someone else? They are putting the subject's life at risk. If the photographer wanted to add expression or photoshop to the subject, they should state this where the photo credits appear. It is sometimes okay to do this, but for example, when Time magazine added darkness to OJ Simpson's face, it makes him look darker than who he really is and it adds a false character which he doesn't deserve.
