Hmm 🤔 that’s fair but I think more often than not it’s not what the photographer remembered of that moment but down to common practices with color curves and histograms in Lightroom or something.
I like your idea but I think it’s more of a post-render is more like what you remember.
However you can’t use your own editing skills to get the picture to how YOU remember it or want it when it’s already in someone else’s version.
Which fine. Like you never got to SEE yourself and that’s why you hired the photographer.
My issue is that I would be happier hiring someone if I didn’t have to use their awful makeup filter mode photos that don’t even look like we’re real people.
if your hired photographer doesn’t respect your “I’d like the bare minimum post processing please, just do a basic grade to make it look pleasing to the eye and leave it at that” then never hire them again.
I’ll go apeshit on my own personal photos but when it comes to working for somebody I’ll always try to use my skills to make their vision real, when I work for someone it’s not about me
RAW files don’t look like what your eyes saw. RAW files more often than not look meh at best compared to the actual memory of what happened.
A part of photographer’s job is to match how the photo looks like to how you remember the thing looking
