- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I've seen Craigslist posts by some professionals getting clients to send them a photo, even a selfie, offering a wedding shoot. I suppose it's to weed out looks that they don't think will fit their portfolio? I quite don't understand one thing about it, why ask for a photo if they're paying you ? On the other hand, if you're using a photo so you know how to photograph them on day of shoot, saving time, I would think that, being a professional, you should be able to assess and make quick decisions even if you haven't seen any photo of them. Is that too much an assumption or..?
I personally will also consider asking for a photo beforehand and that's probably for Advertising, Commercial, or Fashion shoot. But maybe I won't stop at those. Wondering how would you handle it if they won't send an initial photo for any type of shoot, why ask in the first place? If you're the type who does this and you don't get a photo, is there a dialogue that takes place or you simply decide not working with them ?
