Back in the days of film photographers would use sticky labels to show a transparency or print belonged to them and copyright and contact info. Literally stuck on the slide mount or the reverse of the print. With the advent of digital there was no longer a physical object to stick these on. CDs could be labelled but once your client took those images off your CD and save them onto their machine your data was separated from your images. Read the rest of this entry »

Reading one of my favourite blogs this morning “A Photo Editor” who references a piece in Advertising Age by Jeff Goodby on the relevance of Awards in advertising. Jeff asks his audience if they are becoming “award-chasers” rather than producing relevant advertising material that can really impact how people think. Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry! Was experimenting with having a weekly post of my collated twitter activity show up on the site but I realise this looks awful when delivered to a subscription email or RSS so I’ve turned it off now.

Experiment over!

p.s. I’ve also reluctantly turned back on comment moderation after a couple of weeks worth of spam that Akismet seems unable to see (looked obvious to me!). From today, if you’ve had any comment approved here before then your comment will show up immediately – if not it will be held for moderation.

• @hashphoto Oh please this is just spam of the highest order – pop ups the lot! #fail in reply to hashphoto #
• @erlendaasland I'd not recommend #creativecommons – set "all rights reserved" then YOU have control and make $$ when the photo is used in reply to erlendaasland #
• @fzf Because they are shot by professionals and that takes skill time and money to get high production values! Hence the $$ charge in reply to fzf #
• @andywilson666 If it's CC then it's not got a lot of protection I'm afraid. If you had it "all rights reserved" you would have got paid. in reply to andywilson666 #
• @andywilson666 "Editorial use" is not really "commercial". Commercial relates to advertising in the world of stock photography. in reply to andywilson666 #
• @andywilson666 i.e. for "editorial use" model releases aren't necessary because the use is illustrative only in an editorial context. in reply to andywilson666 #
• @andywilson666 My guess is that the paper thought your CC licence was fair game for editorial use. Should have credited you though. in reply to andywilson666 #
• @andywilson666 Papers often take CC to avoid paying for images from a real stock library. Don't use it if you care about your images. in reply to andywilson666 #
• @andywilson666 You have discovered the downside of CC and Flickr type sharing. Not everyone plays the game see: http://bit.ly/3RdwGN in reply to andywilson666 #
• Photographers – don't let publishers use your images for free! See why credit lines are worthless: http://bit.ly/3RdwGN #togs #photo #flickr #
• @fzf Its hard to say if that's high or low – depends on the usage (if its RM licence) i.e. high for church mag, low for Coke splash page ;) in reply to fzf #
• @anchorben But you charge for YOUR web design right? What makes your creativity chargeable and a photographer's work not chargeable? in reply to anchorben #
• @Photoanswers Your link is broken in reply to Photoanswers #
• @erlendaasland Good luck but the problem with CC on Flickr (any type) is that people just take – they don't ask first. It's rife. in reply to erlendaasland #
