Few photographers know that up to 60% of adult‑subject photo releases omit clear limits on image use. This gap routinely jeopardizes consent and dignity. Images are shared across platforms and repurposed without context; technical skill is only half our responsibility — ethical practice is the other. As creators, publishers, and curators, we must establish transparent … Read moreVisual Ethics Guide Adult Photography Coverage
