The Importance of Crediting Your Photographer (And Every Creative Involved)

As creatives, we pour a lot of heart, time, and skill into the work we do. 

Whether it’s a photo session, video shoot, or any project, the collaboration between the photographer, stylist, makeup artist, models, and everyone else involved is what brings it all together. Every person contributes their unique talents to create something special, so it’s important to credit those efforts, both online and through word of mouth.

Crediting seems like a small thing, but it really goes a long way. When you tag or mention a photographer in your post, you’re not just showing love to them, but you’re helping others discover their work. Plus, it helps keep the creative community thriving. Think of it like a little “thank you” that goes a long way.

But it’s not just about social media tags

Word of mouth matters too

When you rave about a photographer or stylist to friends, family, or colleagues, it’s the ultimate compliment. It’s how we help each other grow in a competitive industry, and it strengthens the bond between collaborators.

So, the next time you share a photo or experience from a session, take a moment to credit all the creatives who helped make it happen. Whether it’s tagging them in your Instagram post, adding their name to a blog, or simply recommending their work to others, it makes a difference. You’re not only supporting their journey but also encouraging the culture of collaboration and respect in the creative community.

Let’s keep supporting each other and celebrating the amazing work that everyone brings to the table!
