How would someone go about putting your logo for that matter,

it depends some photographers place it where it's difficult to stole their pics but most people place it in a corner with %80 opacity and white fill, just search google images using "photography watermark example" they're all over the place since there's no rules.

It all depends on how far you are willing to go. You could just put it in the corner of your photos and hope people don't crop it out, you could also overlay it over the entire picture (the classic approach for companys that sell stock footage/ images), you could also go a bit further and put your watermark hidden in the metadata. That doesn't keep people from stealing your shit, but you could easily prove that they stole it ( given that they haven't modified the picture.)

I see. But is there a professional way to to do so? I mean putting your Logo/ watermark across the whole picture looks like shit and putting it barley noticeably in a corner somewhere is to risky getting it stolen.
So where is the middle of that? The best way?

it's SUPPOSED to look like shit, so people can't reuse it

Pretty much. There is noch such thing as an effective invisible watermark.

You have to weigh out what you want.
Either put up a gigantic watermark that lowers the amount of people stealing it, but will also turn down potential customers or put your copyright in a corner so buyers can see the full picture before acquiring it, but also have more people stealing it.

A creative approach I saw a while back on some website was blocking out parts of the picture through heavy blur or black rectangles. Either randomly spread across the motive or just censoring the interesting parts in it. The pictures look all cut up, but you can see enough to get a sense of the whole thing and people cannot steal it because it would be useless.

Holy shit, you're totally right, making the image unappealing totally sells it!
