Spanish term or phrase: fotos marcadas
This is an analysis of a show of photography in Argentina. The author talks about how the curator managed to destroy the individual identities of the three photographers featured to give rise to an image of the time:
Si, según mi lectura, la primera premisa del curador fue la mezcla/confusión, la segunda fue hacer una muestra que considerara en un nivel de equivalencia obras y archivos. La exhibición incluía un grupo de fotos colgadas en las paredes, pero igualmente importantes eran mesas y vitrinas en las que podían verse fotos secundarias, fotos descartadas, fotos marcadas, que entre todas contribuían a la demolición de la idea de masterpiece, de la idea de genio, de la idea de estilo.

...No less important than the group of photographs up on the walls were the tables and vitrines with minor photos, discarded photos, and blemished photos

I have worked with photographers preparing their photographs for publication, and they frequently mark the prints for adjustments to the light, color, framing, etc.

agree  Jennifer Levey: The 'marked-up photos' are exhibited as part of the curator's attempt to show that 'iconic' photos, often written-off with remarks such as 'the photographer got lucky', are in fact the fruit of a complex creative process.
