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 ?

Because everyone has a phone, and people can't understand the difference between taking a phone picture and a professional picture. If phones could do simple plumbing, no one would want to pay plumbers for advanced work either.

If they can’t tell the difference then… do it yourself?

My phone can help me do plumbing, I go on YouTube spend time learning how to do it, then figure out where and what material to source, and go into DIY mode, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t… A seasoned pro doesn’t have to muck around as much.
