Photo Signature Question...


Hi all... I was noticing that some photographers "sign" their photos with something like Photoshop. Is that the standard? I've also seen some people sign the photo in the corner by hand. What's the common practice? Thanks! :)

  Hi Mel!
I think it's just personal preference. Contests I've entered forbid signatures on the front. If I was doing portaits for a client, I wouldn't sign them as it would be annoying to them. If I was selling photos as art pieces (landscapes, flowers, etc.), I'd probably sign using PS. But that's just me.

  Hi
I've sold some photos through a local gift shop. I signed them all in the lower left corner by placing a sheet of paper over the photo, then using a ball point pen and some pressure. This gives you a signature without detracting from the image.
