I like this video for a number of reasons. Besides the original point of the video, Dom also shows a good example of what a photo looks like before and after a photographer edits a photo. I also think Dom makes a good argument as to why people need to hire photographers. Good photos can be the difference between selling what you need to, or being stuck with it; more so through online sales.

Personally, I don't tend to edit my photos a whole lot, but even Dom's photos aren't edited as much as most people who don't know anything about photography usually think. It seems that whenever the words "edited," and "photo" are used together in a sentence, people automatically assume that some how, the photo in question is no longer real (Thank you magazine photographers and celebrities). There are two different types of editing, in my mind. Editing the photo to make it more readable/look better, which is what I, and many other photographers do, and photo manipulating. Think about it.
