I was interacting in a discussion on the threads all and asks the question of what lenses they decided to shoot a certain photo with, they responded that they only divulge that information for a specific tier of this Patreon. Is it just more or is they really weird and gatekeepy? Hell, if anyone asked me what glass I was shooting on I’d happily let them know the lenses and anything else they wanted to know, just seems hella weird to me.

    I have a patreon tier like this so I kinda feel the other side. I put in a great deal of effort to write down the process of editing or developing, used gear, location, models, lighting etc.

    I used to answer questions like these, but I do try to point people towards my patreon nowadays. Sure, happy to have a discussion, but honestly if you don’t value my insight to “buy me a coffee”, than go fuck yourself, I am not chatgpt.

    Location and model questions are more annoying… its a lot of effort to scout them out. If someone wants to learn, happy to help, but to copy? Pay first. That was my rant :D
