Photographer fired for using photoshop

~redux:iconredux: reports, April 3, 2003
L.A. Times photographer Brian Walski, covering the conflict in Iraq, lost his job at the newspaper on Tuesday for digitally compositing two shots to achieve a "better composition."

Documenting the efforts of a British soldier instructing civilians to take cover on the outskirts of Basra, Walski's manip was published in Monday's edition of the L.A. Times. Only after an employee of the Hartord Courant - who was going to use the syndicated photograph - spotted a possible problem with the image, a full investigation took place.

Walski admitted to using Photoshop to create a composite image out of two distinct photographs, in contravention with the newspaper's policy and photographic ethics. On Tuesday, the L.A. Times posted an editor's note explaining the incident and the photographer's dismissal.

This once again raises some interesting issues about the truthfulness of images used by the mass media, and where the boundaries are when it comes to digital enhancements and manipulations of photograph.

Very interesting... this actually scares me though. As if the media doesn't already manipulate the truths and feed us what it wants to feed us....

and people somethimes wonder why journalisim as proffesion isnt very popular (i study to be one)
how can it be OK when medias are crowded with things like that
with manipulated photos it becomes even worse
`x-horizon:iconx-horizon: Apr 4, 2003, 7:06:52 AM
omfg thats low... I think everybody tries to make the best out of their photographs, so its almost a must to give your frames the last something with setting perfect contrast as an example :) (Smile)

It IS journalism
and it doesn't NOT reflect the reality

but it does look more... impressive this way.

I'm hesitating on which side to take.

he deserved to be sacked. his paper had a clear policy which he violated.

now if he had worked for the Sunday Sport then he probably would have got away with it

interestingly 'The Times' here in the UK has a artist out in the gulf. I've seen quite a few 'impressions' of war on the front page.

I don't believe photojournalism is about aesthetics so any modification like that-- which is outright manipulation, even if small, is ethically wrong.

my stance on this would be that photography cannot be a true and totally unbiased depiction of reality. through all the choices such as position, exposure, choice of lens, choosing the "right" moment, etc, a photographer inevitably adds his/her own interpretation on reality, and with that a certain degree of subjectivity. in many cases, this can happen unconsciously.
this, however, is definitely an intended manipulation. by combining the two bland shots, Walski created a powerful image with a completely new meaning. it is showing something that has never happened, an interpretation, rather than a depiction.
and yes, after all has been said and done, the rules are the rules. the Walski was well aware that he was breaking them, in order to get a "killer" image (pardon to pun)
speaking to ~stevesm last night about this, i was reminded of the big hoo-haa about the OJ Simpson picture on TIME magazine. if you remember, it was discovered that the mugshot of OJ had been quite drastically darkened to make him look "blacker", putting a heavier spin on the whole ethnic angle, distorting reality and adding a new meaning to the shot.
