It seems counterintuitive that a group of photographers taking a photo of Fabienne Charisma, laying lifeless, would end up stirring outrage against the photographers, rather than those who sent them to take photos exactly like the one they took.
The photographers were sent to Haiti to document the tragedy following a serious earthquake, and thats exactly what they did. They documented an event that encapsulated all that was going on. In a single photo one could see destruction, looting, and police brutality. But the contents of the photo had little to do with it’s popularity. The most controversial part was the action of taking the photo. The people sent to the island to take photos, took photos and because it blew up, the practice was illuminated. The backlash was centered on the photographers doing their job rather then the people who sent them there. Photographers have limited job opportunities and these ones did their job to the fullest extent. I would argue that sending pure photographers to disaster zones is the issue. If the photographers were also humanitarian aid workers this would not have happened.

We are able with effort to determine your angle, which you express forcefully but not clearly, Student12121.
You use a lot of language regarding the photographers and those who sent them, but you don’t spell out your claims at all specifically.
But the contents of the photo had little to do with its popularity.
—You mean that the lifeless youth lying bloody on the ground is not what made the photo so well-known.
The most controversial part was the action of taking the photo.
—You mean that taking pictures instead of checking her pulse or trying to identify the girl was the reason photographers were criticized.
The people sent to the island to take photos, took photos and because it blew up, the practice was illuminated.
—You mean that the powerful image they shot made viewers aware of how intrusive a photographer’s job is.
The backlash was centered on the photographers doing their job rather then the people who sent them there.
—Here you mean that news media, editors, advertisers and all of us who hire them are responsible for how the images are gathered. If bloody images didn’t sell well, they wouldn’t be taken.
Photographers have limited job opportunities and these ones did their job to the fullest extent.
—You mean the photographers don’t decide what assignments they’re given or what pictures their editors will buy.
I would argue that sending pure photographers to disaster zones is the issue.
—You mean that the hunger for lurid images of suffering is ours, not the photographers’.
If the photographers were also humanitarian aid workers this would not have happened.
—You mean, the appropriate response to disaster is to send helpers, not voyeurs.
I know you didn’t ask for feedback, Student12121, but I’d like to help you channel your humanitarian impulses into more effective communication.
