copyright

Copyright is the life blood of any visual artist.The granting of licences for third parties to use photographs is the basis for the business of any photographer. This is how I feed my children and how I pay my mortgage. If someone uses one of my pictures without permission, then they are not just stealing the usage fee, they are potentially reducing the value of the picture itself, whether by a process of repetition or by comprimising any legitimate image usage deals.
