- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Recently an acquaitance of mine had a bad experience with a photog. She doesn't live near me, and hired someone in her state to take some "bodouir" pictures of her to send to her husband, and to make a long story short the pictures got plastered all over the photogs website and Myspace, without permission. She learned her lesson and had it out with the photog.
However I, being curious, checked out this photog and their services. I was appalled to see some terribly photography, technically speaking as well as artisitcally, and even worse PRICING. These pictures had numerous mistakes each, which is fine for a learner, I make mistakes all the time since I am still new at this, but the photog was charging up to 200 dollars PER HOUR, with no prints.
I wanted to email the photog and yell at them, but I didn't. I wanted to tell people on Myspace, but I didnt... but I felt weird because I felt responsible and ashamed that someone calling themselves a photographer would take advantage.
So the question is:
AS photographers do we take SOME resposibility for each other?
discuss!
