pierctheveil: photo credit Hi! It’s super rad that you credited my photos and all but in the future it would be even MORE rad if you didn’t edit them/crop my watermark out/add your own. As a photographer I rely on people being able to see my work and have it lead back to me (which helps me get hired, pay my rent, pay down my student loans, etc). When people crop/edit my work and post it online, it creates an image that 1.) Isn’t representative of my original intentions as an artist, and 2.) (more importantly) doesn’t easily lead back to a place where people can contact me. So I know you were trying to do right by crediting me with a link, but if someone saves these photos off of tumblr and reposts them….they don’t lead back to me. They lead back to your blog, which makes it hard for me to pay those bills as mentioned above. I’m flattered that you like my photos and it’s super awesome, but please in the future, for my sake (and that of other photographers) please post photos as they originally were, with watermark etc. Most of us don’t mind if you put them up on tumblr, we know you’re not making any money off of them, but it does make it a little harder for us to make money (and thus, keep shooting the bands you love) if you don’t leave the proper credit on the image =] xx Alex -- source link
