5 Ways to respect your photographer
1. Donât ask photographers for raw photos (raw photos consume LARGE amount of data which is hard to transfer and not all photographers are comfortable providing raw snaps) if they want to provide you they will or if itâs within the contract.
2. Donât add filter or edit pictures that are already edited by the photographer without consent. (Photographers wants to take CREDIT from pictures theyâve âSPENT TIME EDITINGâ and not from pictures that are filtered by ig/fb or 2nd hand edited by anyone âStop tagging/ Stop re editing / Stop croppingâ!
3. Donât ask a photographer to take your photo if you donât like their style. (If you think you can shoot better or the photo you want doesnât match the photographers style, then donât bother asking. You need to trust your photographer)
4. Donât expect quick outputs. (Editing is not a quick process. Not all photos or style works with presets. We as an artist take our time to edit the photos including little details that might not matter to others. We donât simply tweek panels to adjust colors. We try our best to set moods, read angles when we postprocess.)
5. Donât initiate free photos. (Photography is no different from your daily job. If your job is a call center agent would you enjoy taking in phone calls for hours without pay? I donât think so. Let photographers initiate. Donât obligate them to bring their cameras or take your photos. They would most probably want to take photos of their family and friends.
