No exploitation here. Photography books aren’t exactly best-sellers. No one gets rich on them — or even well-heeled.

This is a everyday situation for me and a lot of other photographers that like me work as Medical Photographers at hospitals. Aldo we are not allowed to show our work for the public since they are part of a documentation of a medical condition for each patient. I concur with Matt Skalski its amazing what people can endure show us who are without disabilities.

Any photography is exploitative. Whether it’s art or journalistic, portraits or landscapes, you are taking from the subject. So really this isn’t as simple as you may think. A photographer’s intention holds a lot of substance when it comes to difficult subjects.

I doubt very much that this is exploitation Marshall. For someone to put in that much time, effort and emotion into something to make a quick buck doesn’t seem logical. And when I looked at the images I felt pretty emotional so I couldn’t even imagine having to shoot them.

Very interesting work. Handled with exquisite care and concern. Commendable for sharing. And interesting to note – many of his subjects have wonderful, genuine smiles. This is a true reflection of the person behind the lens.

Great feature! As a doctor, I appreciate these images for what they can teach us about the human condition, and what our bodies and minds are capable of surviving. We can learn so much from powerful art such as this… Those who are afraid to look should be asking themselves why, and why they feel the need to pretend this isn’t real and that these people don’t live with their condition every day.
