- Photos OK to edit
I recently found my image of a friend in a newspaper article. I was not given credit, I was not notified it was published, I was not asked for permission to publish, and I was not compensated.
Honestly, I'm flattered that they used my image (I'm an aspiring photographer about to enter college for photography), but a bit upset that they "stole" my image.
I'm a bit unsure as to what I should do. Should I just keep quiet and be happy or let them know I'm upset?
It might not even be the newspaper's fault -- the person in the photograph might've illegally signed the ownership of the photograph to the newspaper.
I would ask the person in the photograph if they did, but I have no way of contacting them.
Thanks for your input,
Sarah
