I agree with the quote by Mary Ellen Mark, about being honest about why you're photographing someone. It is important not only because you are taking some of their soul, but you are also displaying that soul to others. People have a right to decide how and if their person is displayed to others.

I think that people are beautiful as they are. No body is perfect, and to attempt to edit someone so that they appear perfect is saying that person is flawed. I also think this directly relates to the Mary Ellen Mark quote, if you are editing someone's appearance it can often times be unethical because you are not allowing the person themselves to choose how they will be seen, particularly if you edit something drastic and do not tell them what you will do.

In the newspaper the portraits are often action shots, someone doing something. Rarely there is just a person looking into the camera to be seen. Normally, the important thing about the picture is the action a person is completing, and not the person themselves. This is different in facebook pictures, the portraits are specifically to show a person as close and as much of their likeness as possible.
