It seems counterintuitive that an image taken in an effort to bring attention to the injustice of a tragic death instead brought attention to the injustice of the photographers themselves. Fabienne Cherisma, an innocent fifteen year old girl, was tragically killed by the stray bullet of a police officer meant to deter looters during the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. A crowd of journalists flocked to take photographs of the poor girl’s corpse, not one of them showing remorse for the situation, but rather profiting from and winning awards for the images. While one might expect that such an image representing the struggles faced by marginalized communities would elicit empathy and promote action, the graphic nature of the photos sparked discomfort and caused people to question the ethics of the photographers on the grounds of exploitation. Many believe that steps should have been taken to show respect before releasing the images, such as asking permission from the girl’s family and putting more emphasis on the humanity of the girl rather than simply using her as a symbol of suffering and capitalizing on her vulnerability. Rather than encouraging reform for the community of victims who suffered the aftermath of the tragedy, the images led to introspection and conversation of the nature of which sensitive stories are told through media.
