- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hey everyone!
I have been into photography for over 10 years, but have always done it as a hobby and had my own projects. I live in Toronto.
Recently I was asked to do an Engagement/Wedding photo shoot which involved three photo sessions: one casual, one traditional and one formal. Then I showed all the photographs to the couple and they selected 50 images for me to edit. The editing process was extensive since they wanted some major changes in their look and it took me over an hour to edit each photograph. They gave me lots of time to edit and I stretched the editing process over two months.
I used two Cannon 7D cameras (one mine and one I borrowed) - one with a portrait lens and one with a wide angel.
This is my first project and I wasn't really sure what I was doing, so I watched about 10 hours of wedding photography editing videos on the internet and tried to do what I thought would look best. It was also very hard for me to work, since I am used to doing what I want with my photography, and here I was trying to do what the customers wanted, and it was almost completely opposite of what I like to do (or used to doing) with photography. I charged them $1000 at the end.
I am contemplating if I should ever do a project like this again and would really appreciate any and all criticism. I would like to know where I stand in terms of quality with the work I did. Any suggestions on equipment or editing would really help! And in terms of price, I would like to know how much a project like this costs, or is worth.
Here is a Flickr set I have made for the couple:
