Nikki- Anderson Gallery Post

The issue that I chose that was discussed at the Anderson Gallery is the topic of Exploitation. Exploitation, to me, is the idea that you are benefitting from exposing someone. Exposing, in the way that the person might not be shown in the best way. The artist that I chose was Elliott Erwitt, it is not the worst case of Exploitation, but I do think there is a question when it comes to shooting portraits, especially strangers and even children. As far as my own personal work, most of my subjects are people I know and who are ok with being photographed. So i don't think i have run into the issue of exploitation just yet.
