A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Illegal Print (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I'm a photographer from Belgium. I discovered one of my photos has been printed illegally and is on one of the walls in a cruise ship. It's a major US company. I discovered this because a passenger recognized my work and sent me a photo of it.

Does anyone now what's the best thing to do here?

Thanks!

One thought is to contact the cruise lines and prove that this is your pic that was used without consent. From there you have a few options

They can continue to use but have to give credit by amending the painting to add your name
Go the lawyer route as others mention here
Do nothing
Shame them on social media

The last option may not do much because it may not be reach enough people to have an effect that solicits the cruise line to do anything.

The first option is the best imo because it is free advertising for you
