Also owned Pure Candy Images (content company) and shot every picture for that...we sold that in 2002 to Brad Shaw.
Point is, I busted my butt and used whatever talents I have to the best of my abilities.
Everything we did was right out there in the open for anyone to see.
I mean, think about it...Look at Playboy Magazine.
Hugh Hefner's entire business was right there on display...it was a freakin' magazine!
And yeah, plenty of people TRIED to replicate what he did.
But his unique talent as a photographer in the early days, and his personal sense of direction for the magazine was something that could not be "stolen".
That's why he (and Playboy) are icons. And all the magazines that tried to be just like Playboy have all come and gone and are mostly forgotten.
That was the point I'm making.
If you bring something unique to the table...and it can be as subtle as the angle you use to shoot a picture, or your sense of humor, etc...nobody can steal that.
On the other hand...if what you are doing is just running a script a certain way that anybody else could do in a few minutes...then yeah, you might want to hide that.
