At a time when societies are reckoning with what and how to communicate through media and who has the right to do so, this book is a timely and thoughtful resource on what photographers consider to be off-limits, and how they have contended with their own self-imposed rules without being paralyzed by them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFulford, Jason:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eJason Fulford\u003c\/b\u003e (born in Atlanta, 1973) is a photographer and cofounder of the non-profit publisher J\u0026amp;L Books.
