Ethics of Photography: Documentary Family Storytelling, Consent & Protecting Children Online (with Sara Stanković)

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to capture someone’s life through a lens?In this episode, we sit down with photographer Sara Stanković to explore the deeper questions behind photography — from the difference between documentary and lifestyle photography to the responsibility that comes with telling someone else’s story.Our conversation moves beyond the surface as we discuss consent, especially when it comes to children, and the importance of protecting privacy in an age where everything can be shared. Drawing from Sara & Lex’s backgrounds working with CSEC and trafficked persons, we reflect on how those experiences have shaped our perspectives on image-making, ethics, and human dignity.In this dialogue, we also explore the role of the artist in society — how creatives have historically challenged cultural norms and how that tension shows up in today’s world.Join us for a thoughtful and nuanced conversation about storytelling, responsibility, and what it means to create with care.Guest Links:www.sarastankovic.comwww.instagram.com/sara_stankovic_photoRecommended Resources:Consent Parentinghttps://www.consentparenting.com/https://www.instagram.com/consentparenting/Helps parents go from unprepared and anxious to informed and confident so they can dramatically reduce the risk of abuse.RAINN https://rainn.org/The National Sexual Assault Hotline, RAINN’s mission is to stop sexual violence.AMAZE https://amaze.org/parents/AMAZE produces animated videos to provide young people answers to know about puberty, sex, their bodies, and healthy relationships.Educate to Empower https://e2epublishing.info/Specialize in children's books and resources that address critical topics such as Body Safety and ConsentMe toohttps://metoomvmt.org/A global social movement against sexual abuse, harassment, and assault, empowering survivors.The National Center for Missing & Exploited Childrenhttps://www.missingkids.org/homeThe National Center for Missing & Exploited children is the largest US child protection organization.A great kids book on the topic of body safety: I said "No" by Kimberly KingSupport the showBrought to you by:Visitor Recordshttp://www.visitorrecords.co
