Someone used my photographs without my permission

August 28, 2012

I wrote this on my FB wall today….

It seems people nowadays don’t care about giving credits to other people’s work. I didn’t imagine this would happen to me. But it did and i feel so bad. Ganito pala yung feeling. You just can’t get over it. di mo pwede palagpasin…

Someone stole my photos from my old blog site and used them for her own, passing them off as photos taken from her son’s recent birthday party.

Here are the links & screen shots I took…

This is the link to the Ethan Gabriel D fb account. The first ten photos were mine, my watermarks are still intact. I don’t own the last four photos

I am just sad at how some people don’t have any respect for other people’s property. This is a violation of Intellectual Property rights. Those photographs are copyrighted.

I sent a private message to the fb account’s owner and to the mother of Ethan Gabriel D, demanding that they remove/delete my photos from the fb account album. But it seems my messages have fallen on deaf ears.

My New Home

Last May, I wanted a different look for my blog. Sadly, none of the templates here in blogger.com appealed to me.

So.... I decided to move my photo blog to wordpress.

No worries, this blog has been my home for many years, I won't be deleting my posts here. You can always come back to check and look at my past works... my evolution as a photographer. :)

And now, this is my new home.... feel free to check, comment, send me some lovin'...  promise, i will try my best to be diligent in posting my client's event. I have two years of backlogs to posts, mostly client's parties and events.

Just click this link  :)

fashbook shoot part 3

The shooting continued. We were  trying to get as much from the fading light… For the spiel for this show’s segment, Solenn changed into a mermaid outfit.  This was the underwater shoot, where the celebrity challengers would pose underwater in their mermaid outfits.
