Ethical Code

I intend with my images to represent a subject fairly whilst also representing my own viewpoint on a subject.  Whilst this in some cases may lead me to portray something in a negative light I will still try to remain fair with my reresentation.

My work is concerned more with the concept of our relationship with the environment than strict photojournalism so whilst I will not perform excessive manipulations or add elements to an image to construct a scene I have no issue with removing distracting elements if they are irrelevant to the overall message I as a photographer seek to convey.  This does not include any removal or alteration of recognisable people UNLESS they have specifically stated they wish to not be in the images.  Acceptable removal only includes technical problems, distracting elements such as tree branchs which due to the nature of a rangefinder I didnot notice in camera but would otherwise have corrected composition for, and also correcting lens perspective where needed.
