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.

Generally yeah, in your case no. If the logo is small and fairly easy to remove he might not charge you at all.

Most people use free filters that suck (my paid luts cost 400$) and ruin the vision of the photographer, then tag them. They don't even have the decency to say they are the ones who ruin the photo when someone says it looks bad and that way the photographer looks bad. A photographer is an artist, who applies the art for you, it's like you order a painting and then paint over it. Sounds mad isnt it? Well it's exacrly like that.
