When we think about ethics in documentary photography, what are the most important issues? What would a comprehensive and inclusive ethical agenda include? How should these topics be addressed? 

In this event, Savannah Dodd, the founder of the Photography Ethics Centre, will be in conversation with David Campbell. This conversation will start to set out the landscape of ethics. Rather than give answers, it will focus on the critical ethos necessary for an ethical discussion. This conversation will be the first of a discussion series to be held throughout the next year that will delve deeper into the agenda as it takes shape.

This is also an event to which you can contribute in advance. If you have issues or questions you think should be considered as part of an agenda for ethics, please send your thoughts to Savannah ([email protected]) and David ([email protected]).
