I certainly hear what you are saying. I am seeing it get even worse
in the wedding industry concerning Post Process vs shooting. Not
only do the shots need to be technically correct, but I am seeing an
increasing trend in 'artistic enhancement' becoming the norm and
expectation of the brides. This goes beyond the normal processing
one would do.
I would rather be out shooting the wedding than altering images to be
more 'artsy'...
We are routinely getting requests for those retarded B&W shots with a
"splash of colour" (do these people really think they are being original?)
these days. It's not like it's hard to do, but it does take time, and
customers seem to think they should have our post processing time given to
them as a gift for their deigning to walk in our door.
I can see a day when photographers everywhere rise up against these trite
enhancements and say "no more". I can see a day when photographers start to
demand that their customers start to show a modicum of good taste and not
ask us to do the doggie equivalent of having a treat balanced on our nose to
see if we can toss and catch it.
I can see that I am still happily in bed, and asleep.
