Photo Cred

There is a common misconception of the actual definition of photo cred. One does not simply receive photo cred for pressing a button to snap a cute pic. Photo cred is given when the photographer (whether they are professional or not) sets up a picture - in other words, when the photographer SEES the picture before it is taken. When photo cred is given, the photographer has done someone a service - a service the picture subject didn't ask for, but instead one that was given to them simply because they have a great friend who wants to take cool, "Facebook prof pic"-worthy picture of them. So don't expect to get photo cred when someone asks you to take a picture or when they set it up themselves - you as a photographer must see the picture yourself.

"Hey Susie! Stop in your tracks RIGHT THERE! The way that light is placed right behind you looks awesome. Let me take a sweet pic."

"Okay!"

SNAP

"Woah, that's a really cool pic of me!"

"Thanks Susie! Just make sure you give me photo cred when you make it your profile picture."

Photo Credits

Usually used on Facebook or Flickr. When you upload a picture that you did not take, the person who took it might request photo creds. You give photo credits by changing your caption to include something that goes something along the line of: Picture Taken by Jamie Swift or Photography Credits Go To Anthony Brown.

Stephanie: Hey, did you see that picture Emily put as her new profile picture?
Amy: Not yet, let me check it out.... Hey! I took that picture! Man, that bitch better give me my photo credits!

Emily: Oh jeez, I forgot to give Amy her photograph credits! Jeez, she's going to cut me!
