I'm a photographer from Sydney, Australia. Unless otherwise noted, the photos posted here are taken by me, Daniel Boud.

Anonymous asked:I've noticed that you stopped watermarking your images, which you used to do in the past as I remember you made a post about it a few years back. Any particular reason why you stopped? Trying to get some insight into this as I can't decide which way to go with it myself.
The short answer is that i think watermarks are ugly and distract from the picture.
I share my photos online because i’m proud of them and want to share them with the world. It’s self publishing. Self expression.
Do you see watermarks on magazine and newspaper photos? On photos in art galleries?
I can see why places like Getty would watermark their photos, because they’re in the business of selling those photos. It’s like a form of DRM to discourage copying.
My primary business is about getting commissioned for future work, not selling my existing pictures. Even if the odd person republishes my photo illegally it’s not likely they were ever going to be a paying client anyway.
