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.

Journalistic photography is a beast all of its own. Him not shooting RAW is such a small aspect of this story. It wasn't a problem until I had to recover highlights. I often shoot jpeg when the situation calls for it. This particular shoot was a planned commercial shoot with a client brief and budget. Not a journalistic fast turnaround job. He was recommended to me ny a colleague who knows him personally and he fit the project budget for a second shooter. It was only after his images were an issue I discovered it's his entire portfolio. He has found his niche and his customer base. But it's not compatible with the specific commercial work I do. We are different photographers of different skill levels and specialities. That's what's so wonderful about photography. But there is a basic standard you should meet.
