Code of Ethics

At Kevin Schafer Photography, we take ethics seriously.  In my view, whatever power a photograph possesses is directly tied to the belief that it represents a real event – a true moment in time.  Take that away and all you have left is an illustration, a digital trick. 

For that reason, NONE OF THE WILDLIFE IMAGES IN OUR COLLECTION HAVE BEEN DIGITALLY MANIPULATED WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION.  There may have been some minor color correction done, or contrast control, but in every case they represent real behavior and natural events.  Any images of captive animals are so labeled.  

In this digital age, trust is about all we have left.  If you have ANY questions about a specific image, please contact us. 

For more information, read Kevin's article on digital manipulation in BBC Wildlife Magazine—THE DEATH OF WOW.
