My goodness -- we've now got dueling logos. Photographs are not cattle -- why do we feel the need to brand them? Where's the love? Where's the respect for the image?
Smiley thing here. Kinda. Kinda not.
Hey gwhitf,
I know that I should ignore it but against my better judgment I will respond:
The love for image starts with days spend on creating a concept of an image in once mind and than it is followed by countless hours of negotiation with fitting model and its reps.
Than comes a love of people from your studio who are responsible for the production of a set, followed by work of people who are proud to do the make-up, hair and clothing.
During the shoot everybody in the studio pours their love to contribute to better image.
After the shoot the love is translated to hours of retouching to create the best work that one is able to achieve.
By the end everybody involved feels like the image is a result of their hard work and love and deserve recognition.
I am Andre Napier, but all of us involved in the production are Andre Napier Studios. Plain and simple.
Unless you snap images of cats or sell right-out all the rights to an image, you brand your professional product the same as every other company in every other field do.
It is call business.
I do not know what stands behind gwhitf but I hope you learned something today.
Andre
