My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

Confirmed, it's cats or taking shots through viewfinders of a friends Hasselblad or Mamiya WLF (or iPhone) of the sunset to post on Instagram because that's what photographer influencers would do.

On Friday, I stumbled upon the slave labour subreddit.

/r/slavelabour description posted:

Get jobs done well below market rate. Any task (within reason!) can be completed here for pay. Find casual online work. Earn a few dollars here and there completing small tasks. It will soon add up! Employers: Outsource tasks instantly, no fees!

I was entranced and curious by all of the weird, small, (frequently sketchy/unethical) tasks that were posted. I couldn't help but scroll through page after page until I found this one:

quote:

Photoshop expert needed to edit a few wedding photos. I have the RAW files but, in need of someone to edit the photos. For example few photos have sunrays over taking the photo. Other example is removing objects in the background. Possible quote after reviewing the photos.

I really wish they provided a sample of the pictures, because I'm sure the wedding photographer who outsources editing for :20bux: would be a stunning example of the best photographer.

I have a feeling the poster is the married person, and they didn't like the quote their photographer gave for editing services

I have never seen that subreddit. Someone is paying $5 for 5000 real instagram account names. They want them to all be verified so its all done manually....

So in comparison that photoshop job is paying well.

Gonna upload 200 raw astrophotography shots taken across two nights in different atmospheric conditions and ask them to be manually registered and have gradients created by airglow removed. But the galactic core has to remain visible.

Hmm ... I think it's still too much. Try $3, they seem to love being lowballed.

Look at that tasteful, selectively-colored red dot. Truly this is the face and the work of a photographer without peer.

It’s shot with a Leica - it captures a reality that is more real than anything our lovely garbage cameras can and more than our pedestrian eyes can see.

GrandpaPants posted:

I assume that the camera was shopped in front of a photo of his head (lighting doesn't make sense otherwise).

But I can now totally imagine that he started with the photo of the camera first and added in the head, since the camera is, in his mind, far more important.

Sculture of a Masai Woman cut in Walnut by my good friend Hans of Bavaria. The village in the background is Aït-Ben-Haddou in Morocco - Unesco World Heritage sind 1987 - and quite on the other side of Africa as Tanzania where the Masai are located - however, it just perfectly suites the sculpture to my eyes as background.

Africa is basically all the same place.
