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 ?

With the advent of digital cameras.....photography became really accessible. With this, you have everyone trying it out and doing side hustles. The issue, then, is everyone undercutting everyone else.

I wouldn't care too much. If you feel confident in your skills, it'll sell. And if they decide to go the cheaper route and get bad photos from someone less experienced, their loss and lesson learned.
