Do you think the images have shown ethical violations? Why or Why not?

After seeing those images the first thing that I noticed is the Ethiopian people. According to my research
this photo was pre-wedding shot of Billy Crawford and Coleen Garcia in Ethiopia. But, I was really
confused seeing those images; if those images only show the beauty of Ethiopian people or they made
these people as their props or background? Or maybe they were just trying to highlight the beauty of
the place and the culture of Ethiopian people. After minutes of thinking, I conclude that I don’t think and
see any ethical violations about their photos, because as what I observed the people behind are
cooperating for the photo shot so, therefore I conclude that they talked to those people and they asked
permission before doing their photo shot. Actually I liked the pre-wedding shot of Billy and Coleen and I
don’t see the intention to put the Ethiopian people in a bad light. They actually become part of the art.
But I do respect everyone’s opinion, what I am saying is it depends on the people who are criticizing it,
maybe others may look offensive and others may not look offensive about it. But for my opinion they
did not intend or to disrespect any race or culture. I know also that they are reasons behind that photos,
if why did take such ideas in photographing their pre-wedding shot, and that the other side that other
people don’t understand in simple word only the bad side are what they see and never been the good
side. So, for me I want to look on the good side of it, so what I did is I researched about the reason
behind those photos, so I found out that the couple and the team that produced that photos did the
shoot in partnership with Ethiopian Airlines. They were invited and sponsored by Ethiopian Airlines to do
their shoot there for their tourism and capture their natural environment because they were told that
tourism helps their economy.
