# Merge Photographers Endpoint

`POST /photographers/merge`

## Request

- URL: `https://api.pavoot.com/photographers/merge`
- Auth: none declared

Fold duplicate photographer records into one.

The same person routinely appears twice — imported by a migration as a name-only record
that owns their historical images, then again as a real account once they sign in. The
records look identical but share nothing, so locking one leaves the other's images
shareable. See auxiliary/user_operations.merge_photographers.

  - `targetId` string, required
  - `sourceIds` string[], required
