And Sony hates that

This . Being a good photographer is one thing. Earning money from photography is another different thing, this topic is very controversial , because it can also go the other way around, photographers who are great at selling themselves and make a lot of money, which leads them to think that they are better than others(that might suck at marketing but have the talent), when they are not . Again, very controversial topic.

If you want to make something look like it was taken at night, take it at night

Ask photographer to hold a mirror so you can have some comparison.

An easier way would be to invert a picture in any editing software getting the same result

The wolrd will eat you alive if u don’t change that mentality, just an advice from a stranger .

Panasonic Leica Nocticron 42.5mm f1.2

Are u sure that those are the same original edits? I mean, are u sure that she is not applying some kind of filter ? Are u watching the pictures on the same screen?

That being said, if none of the above is the case , at least u are acknowledging your mistakes, which is always great , because u’ll be able to get better and better with time .
