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.

I think even better than asking the photographer to fix it, you could mention that you think it's an easy fix well within your reach but you wanted to know if he's ok with you doing it yourself. This way you're a) showing you understand it's not cool to just go around and mess up other people photos, and b) not asking for anything, technically.. He might be the one proposing to help instead!
