I had an interesting interaction this morning with another photographer in our area. They had made a post on the local page and I reached out with pure intention and was met with hostility. Yes, I’m sharing, because it’s scary to me that it’s more important to him to use other people’s photos instead of working like the rest of us and giving away our time to have photos for reference, advertising and portfolio. How hard is he really going to work for his clients? How many other rules is he willing to break to put himself and those clients at risk?
It’s frustrating to me that communication is immediately portrayed as a threat. I have ALWAYS been a community over competition girl because I genuinely feel no photography is the same and we all create our own versions of art. Im pretty upset that I was responded to in this manner. Apparently, I should just let other people dig their own graves. 🤷🏻♀️🫤
