What's the point of taking pictures of old people?

Whether we should take the initiative to take pictures of the elderly involves personal morality and ethics, and there is no definite answer. However, the following aspects may need to be considered:

First of all, photos can be memories and memorials of family and friends. In some cultures, photos after death are considered as a way to respect and commemorate the dead. If the elderly or relatives and friends want to take pictures, then as a photographer or relatives and friends, providing help can be considered. However, if family members don't want to shoot, we should also respect their choice.

Secondly, photos may have a negative impact on some people. Some people may not accept taking pictures of their loved ones, or photos will make them feel pain and sadness. In this case, we should respect their feelings and should not force them to take pictures.

Finally, even if the elderly or their families agree to take pictures, we still need to abide by some moral and legal regulations. We should respect the privacy of the elderly and abide by local laws and regulations.

In short, whether we should take the initiative to take pictures of the elderly needs to consider personal ethics and moral standards, as well as the wishes of family members and the elderly. Whether we decide to take pictures or not, we should respect the feelings of the deceased and their families and try our best to provide them with support and comfort.
