- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am new to this forum, and I don't wanna start off on the wrong foot with everyone so I hope this doesn't upset anyone or make them think I'm a bia.
I just need to get something off my chest, and hope that someone here relates.
There is a 'friend' (read: the facebook kind) that I've never actually met. We became fb friends through her best friend, whose engagement photos I took last year. She loved them and wanted me to do some, she said, so we talked for a while. Nothing ever came of that, and then this year her cousin or something graduated and she took her out with her Kodak p&s and took some 'photos' which she proceeded to Picnik within an inch of their lives and post on facebook to RAVE reviews.
Since then, she has been going on photo shoots and charging people for over exposed, awkward, poor quality photos of their families. Photos in mid-day sun with sunglasses on and squinty eyes and just... Not good.
Please understand that I am the LAST person to think someone shouldn't follow their dream but she is just... not very good.
Recently a lot of my poses-- Okay, not mine, because let's face it poses are just that, and there are only so many-- have conveniently found their way into her "photos" and I am beginning to lose patience.
Is it wrong that I am so frustrated with this girl, or maybe it is just jealousy masking itself as something else?
I've been trying to make a name for myself for years with photography and it is happening, slowly. They say overnight success takes about 15 years, after all. And here's this girl with a point and shoot who just decided last month she's a photographer and she's got people lined up right and left, and now she is copying my photos as well.
Feedback, guys, help me out here!
