- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am in the camp of photography has no right or wrong "artistic" style and how photos are post processed is a matter of taste no matter how bad it is. Obviously there can be technical items which are wrong.
With that said I recently tried the Nik software suite and thought to myself its instagram for photoshop. All joking aside I can see its uses on getting you close and then taking it the rest of the way. However, I recently got linked to another photographers website and was looking at their work and thought they essentially applied the filters and then left it that way. Apparently the person is somewhat successful and it got me thinking, if instagram is the new hot thing that apparently the masses enjoy, it would seem evident to give them that style of photography.
I personally am still working on mastering the technical aspects and havent developed what I would call a style yet. I was curious if from a business perspective if anyone has adopted a style that has more mainstream appeal vs their own, specifically in how they post process.
