A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is it bad to edit photos after the photographer has? (alien.top)

I’m not talking about substantial edits here, just a small detail!

I’ve coordinated outfits for my family photo session coming up. The jacket I’d like one of us to wear has a small logo on it and I don’t have time to shop for a new one. I don’t want to pay extra fees for the photographer to edit the logo out, especially if I am capable of editing that small detail myself.

My question is, would it be a problem if I remove the logo from our photos after he provides me with our final gallery? I don’t want to offend the photographer or violate an unspoken rule. Any insight is appreciated.

The only issue is when people do a shit edit, then post them and tag the photographer, making them look bad... Minor stuff, go for it.

Thank you for your input. I’ll do as others suggested and simply ask first, but I’m glad it’s not a big deal if I choose to do something minor like this.
