ETHICAL GUIDELINES
Photography Ethics
At Sara Liz Photography, we believe in upholding the highest ethical standards in our storytelling photography. Our ethical guidelines are designed to ensure that our work aligns with the values and mission of nonprofit and charity organizations. While we strive to provide informative content, it's important to note that our guidelines are not a substitute for legal advice. We recommend seeking professional guidance to tailor your own ethical guidelines according to the specific nature of your photography activities.
Ethical Guidelines - the importance
Ethical guidelines form the foundation of our work, establishing the legal and moral boundaries that govern our interactions with nonprofit groups and organizations. They are essential in defining the ethical relationship between our photography services and the humanitarian causes we support.
These guidelines are tailored to the unique needs of ethical storytelling photography for humanitarian events and are distinct from guidelines for other photography services. They empower us to protect our integrity and align our work with the ethical standards upheld by the nonprofit and charity sectors, while also safeguarding our business from potential legal implications.
What to include in the Ethical Guidelines document
Our ethical guidelines encompass various key aspects: defining the permissible use of our photography services; outlining our commitment to transparent pricing and invoicing methods; a declaration of our dedication to maintaining the integrity of our photographic content; a reference to the ethical considerations regarding the use of images; our right to refuse services that conflict with our ethical standards; and much more.
