5 Ways to respect your photographer
1. Don’t 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 it’s within the contract.
2. Don’t add filter or edit pictures that are already edited by the photographer without consent. (Photographers wants to take CREDIT from pictures they’ve “SPENT TIME EDITING” and not from pictures that are filtered by ig/fb or 2nd hand edited by anyone “Stop tagging/ Stop re editing / Stop cropping”!
3. Don’t ask a photographer to take your photo if you don’t like their style. (If you think you can shoot better or the photo you want doesn’t match the photographers style, then don’t bother asking. You need to trust your photographer)
4. Don’t 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 don’t simply tweek panels to adjust colors. We try our best to set moods, read angles when we postprocess.)
5. Don’t 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 don’t think so. Let photographers initiate. Don’t obligate them to bring their cameras or take your photos. They would most probably want to take photos of their family and friends.
Dear: clients, models, friends, relatives, co artists
