A comment on Stop Filming Strangers in 2023. Parent comment
Sometimes however pushing the boundary causes positive change.
I am a photography enthusiast and a lot of very impactful if not world-changing photography in the past has been called unethical in their times.
Some examples are Robert Frank's "The Americans" (https://www.lensculture.com/articles/robert-frank-the-americ... https://www.nga.gov/features/robert-frank/the-americans-1955...), Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrant_Mother)" and Steve McCurry's "Afghan girl" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_Girl) photos. All received harsh criticism, but also raised awareness of issues in transformative ways.
