It can be quite annoying dealing with watermarks. So how does the artist protect their work without taking away from the integrity of the picture?

1. Victoria Marshman Presents
Dealing with
Watermarks
Photography tips!

2. Why Should I care?
❖ Watermarks serve a specific
function
❖ They let you share your
photos…
❖ …without risking theft

3. But they can be ugly!

5. The Problems with Watermarks
❖ Can disrupt viewing
experience
❖ Weakens photograph
❖ Some artists charge a fee to
remove the watermark, which
alienates customers

6. So, how do we get around using
watermarks while still protecting art?

7. Use them to your
advantage!
Use it like a business card, and direct
customers to your portfolio. Or, make
your watermark your logo. Keep it
professionally designed, and tucked
away in a corner of the image. You may
also need more than one. A custom logo
on a glamour shot would look out of
place if it’s the same one used for a
nature picture!
