Problem with wedding photographer

[runnah]

I think the board just wants to protect itself from any litigation for having copyrighted material on the board without approval until ownership etc can be clearly identified. Afterall, I don't think those photographers want international bad publicity/ bashing/ embarrassment. I also noticed that the pics didn't have any "name photography" watermarked on any photos.

I wouldn't want my name on them!

The rules about not being able embedding the photos (NOT HOSTED ON THIS FORUM SERVER) is ridiculous. I rather see the photos on this forum (moderated for NSFW) than clicking on a link. Clicking a link is dangerous.

I don't see any issue. People should be able to post and receive comment on any product or service they have purchased. In any case it is editorial / fair use . "If you are commenting upon or critiquing a copyrighted work — for instance, writing a book review — fair use principles allow you to reproduce some of the work to achieve your purposes. Some examples of commentary and criticism include:" What Is Fair Use? :: Copyright Overview by Rich Stim :: Stanford Copyright and Fair Use Center

I understand the feeling, but the simple fact is that many photographers include limitations on distribution in their contracts. Whether or not that was the case here, we do not know until the OP responds. Regardless, it is unlikely the copyright was transferred and the fact that she paid for the images is likely irrelevant.

I'm sorry that some of you find this annoying, and I appreciate that it makes the thread somewhat pointless, HOWEVER, how would you feel if your images were used in a way that you had not authorized, irrespective of the quality of the work (which was very bad indeed).

My wedding clients can share my photos all they want (facebook, google +, forum, etc.). As long as the photo is not commercially used and it is non editorial (if it is for editorial, I want to be aware of it and I should handle it), I will be fine. The OP is not making any money posting the photos here. It is part of running business, some clients are happy some are not. Luckily I do not have a client that is very unhappy with my work and post the photos publicly. If that does happen to me, I will just have to shoot better and make sure that does not happen to me again.

I am unhappy with my boudoir session you just did for me. You did not make my chest bigger.

Anything more than a handful is wasted I like to say.

I can fix that - and no camera is involved.

That poor Canon 60D and 18-200, I must have a moment of silence in honour of my same gear, condolences dear other guy's camera, I'm sorry you are being done so wrong!

If you think its wasted, you arent doing the right things with them.

since the pictures got deleted...really no way to get back to them unless the OP posts a link to them.
after reading about them though...im sorry I got in too late to see them.

Just go to Facebook... look up any typical Natural Light PRO Wedding photographer... examine those shots... you will have a basic idea of what they looked like! Really harsh, contrasty exposures when outside, lots of noise and fuzziniess when inside, mixed with poor composition everywhere...

So are the vast majority of these types of shots on Facebook... many are even worse. Pretty amazing stuff...
