This is not watermarking. This is defacing an image. And "whatever works for you" is really lets face it a brush off to the tune of "we disagree on that" and just short of "screw you". Whose' your favorite photographer Richard? Every time you see one of their images on the internet are you greeted with big fat typography inside the image area? Very seldom the case. Big with wedding photogs of the internet age. James Nachtwey does not deface his images with intrusive typography I just did a search. Or anyone else I can find that I ever heard of. His was the first name I could think of. For some reason they find they can continue being photographers intact.
