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!

Typically on Instagram, I see artist talk about art theft. How they typically deal with it is:

Contacting the seller/distributor of that art requesting it be taken down. However I don’t recall seeing how successful the approach is and their art is frequently resold somewhere else. A big offended I remember is redbubble
