Painless Plastic Surgery: Ethical Issues in Photo Editing
In Lester’s Visual Communication: Images with Messages, photography has an entire chapter devoted to understanding six perspectives of the art: personal, historical, technical, ethical, cultural, and critical. For the purposes of this research paper, the information given by Lester in the chapter gives background information on all of the issues that will be discussed, while also giving direction for further reference points that could be utilized. Because Lester’s book was not made to only discuss the ethical issues with photography, the chapter on photography does not go into great detail, however, there is enough information that leads to further references and gives a base structure to the thesis of this research paper. Lester’s chapter on photography covers how pictures are taken, what kind of lens is used, the right to privacy of subjects being photographed, picture manipulation, as well as historical aspects of photography and how the craft has changed since its invention. In addition to this information, Lester also includes famous paintings and photographs to support his ideas and provides many links that may be utilized for images regarding this research paper.
