Ethical standards

As responsible and conservation-minded photographers, we recognise that photographs should not be obtained at any cost. We are committed to prioritising the welfare of living subjects above any consideration for the end result.
There shall be a presumption against the use of captive, domesticated or rehabilitated plant and animal subjects. In rare cases where there is no alternative, the circumstances shall be declared.
We undertake not to use digital manipulation in such a way that misrepresents the subject and that could be construed as an attempt to mislead our audience.
We undertake not to deploy live animals as bait to facilitate the photography of other animal subjects.
