A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Let’s adjust : in the process of baking your special custom cakes I made a bunch of other cakes you did not order. You can buy them if you want otherwise I’ll throw them out. Got it now?
Yes, that would still be weird tbh. Can you imagine a bakery or indeed pretty much any other business actually saying this to a customer? A baker would not present the other cakes to you as an option.
It happens in photography sometimes for justifiable reasons (particularly if there is extensive retouching required) but it’s not a familiar business model to most people so it’s unsurprising that people aren’t familiar with it and find it a bit gross.
It’s weird that people even need metaphors to understand the very basic business model of photography. 🤦🏼♀️
