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.

Why do so many people feel entitled to free photos? (alien.top)

Not only have I been a victim of someone editing out my watermark and not paying for the package but I’ve been seeing people ask for Santa photos for cheaper than $20?

Why is this normal ? I don’t understand how someone can want a professional photographer with exspensive equipment and high quality skill to take time out their schedule to not only shoot the photos but edit and proof them. If that’s not worth at least $50 then why not just get creative with that iPhone you dropped $1k on ?

bruh never send high quality proofs. i send my selects at 25% quality. and put your watermark straight through the center of the image always. that way if they really want to remove it, they cant just crop it out. sure with AI now you can almost just remove it but the closer it is to the faces the harder it is for AI.
