Photoshare supports the advancement of policies aimed at encouraging a thoughtful and responsible approach to photography. Organizations using photography to communicate health and development issues are strongly advised to develop an organization-wide photography policy for taking and using photographs. The failure to develop a policy could result in the following potential consequences:
· Harm to human photos subjects due to unethical use of photography.
· Higher risk of lawsuit and greater difficulty in defending a lawsuit.
· Potential financial costs (e.g. lawsuit, recalling printed product).
· Potential reputation costs, as a result of complaints or lawsuit.
