Steve Mccurry Research Paper

I believe Steve McCurry’s conduct of using Photoshop to edit his works which are order to publish is unethic. And it becomes serious when the photographer is a photojournalist and working for newspwapers. As a professional photojournalist, he should totally avoid using Photoshop to edit his works, though this way will make those works better.
Originally, taking photos is an art that people are trying to express their idea or thoughts to their audiences. In order to make their works accord with their actual thoughts, people can edit the pictures to make it deliver ideas effectively. That’s why picture editting software has become so important these days, like Photoshop. Thanks to Photoshop, lots of minor defects inside a photo can be eliminated, even including erasing a whole human being. However, ethtic problem arised as long as those photo editting softwares are getting widely used. For normal people, they could take themselves to edit
As everyone know before, this position is honorly and respectively helping people know the truth happened in all the world. The use of Photoshop would definitely shaked people’s mind on believing these journal photos. How can we believe the truth in a article which uses editted photos as evidences? Absolutely, the scandal of Steve McCurry destoried many photojournalists’ efforts. Because after this event, the audiences of newspaper and jornal magezines will doubt every photo’s reliability. That’s a very bad influence to this whole industry and lots of photographers would be doubted for many reason, because people’s first image to a photo would become “whether it is editted” but not “It is an awesome orginal creation”. After all, “This isn’t good for the most famous photographic agency in of all time, Magnum Photos, (which McCurry is a member of) and it is not good for photography as a whole.” Said by Tom on The Photo Foundamentalist
