RE: A compilation of Photographs which are stolen.

in #photography6 years ago

sad to read about your experience. I am sharing this on social media so that more people become aware of this. I hope you introduce a watermark on photos with the name bobinson splashed across the photo, every single photo and no one will touch it

Sort:  

means, even if they steal, your name cannot be cut off

I have seen professionals doing that, good idea.

names can be cut off ... Fortunately or Unfortunately I am engineer with experience in image processing a bit and also have done few basic projects involving complicated programing. None of that can help sorting out people's attitude. This is more of an attitude issue as opposed to a technical issue.

There is the other side also - take famous, say, Steve McCurray, he claims his photographs are not altered, but of late, the manipulations of his work is caught "red handed". So editing doesn't work whatever resources we have our disposal.

But then people remember great artists, irrespective of who they are. The best example is Mr K J Vincent From Paravoor, Kerala. There is a generation of photographers who got inspired his work. I went to attend his funeral when he died from a train accident while taking his last photographs. That was the first and last time I have ever met - I feel sad even now.

That's how good artists remain. That's how good art work lives on.
