The Grid 28
In this episode Scott said that watermarks are dumb – whist I agree the large ones slapped across the middle ruin the image, a small one in the bottom corner is a good idea in these days, especially with the social sharing sites like Facebook and Pinterest. I suggest you also go and watch the recent Chase Jarvis show about Copyright on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KrQTXeiJE&feature=g-user-u
Me likey to win Scott’s Photoshop CS6 for Digital Photographers….Love the show guys, seriously addicted
I have a great subject for ”The Grid” that almost started a war on Facebook yesterday (in Sweden though).
Yesterday I talked to a journalist about fashion, moral and photography. In an irritated moment I was a bit quick in my answer, and a bit too honest. I said ”My job is to make great pictures, not to change the world. When the world changes, I will follow”.
I later asked people in a forum for photographers on Facebook and for their opinions.
A lot of women held very strong opinions that it is a photographer´s responsibility to take a stand for moral correctness, to be role-models, to be true, honest and kind to the world, rather then focussing on making money as a photographer.
Several men, on the other hand, thought that as long as you stay within the boundries of the law, do what your customer wants you to do. Understand your customers needs instead of taking a private stand, even if the assignment is of a kind that you yourself do not totally agree with. This is your role as a photographer. Being an ”activist” should be pursued in your spare time.
Almost all the men were commercial photographers, while all the women were wedding- and portrait-photographers.
Why is it like this?
Should we care as photographers or not? Is there a right and a wrong?
Is it our responsibility to change the world?
Are women more sensitive?
Do men care more about money for their business, than about the life of a skinny model, who has had an eating disorders in order to fit as a model?
I’m one of the male commercial photographers, but I still consider the issues should be raised.
Best Regards
