A post that no photographer wants to make – but sadly I haven't got much choice.

It has been brought to my attention that there's quite a few stolen images doing the rounds recently from my SNEC Wednesday Night photos - I'm sure you can all understand how gutting it is to put in the hours of work as a photographer and not gain anything back from it. The taking of photos each Wednesday evening is the easy bit – however the processing, editing and sorting genuinely takes me hours, not to mention the costs involved with fuel, equipment, website fees, editing software etc… really not cheap!

I'm trying hard to keep up the time I'm putting into my business alongside studying full time and it's a balancing act that often ends up with me putting in more hours to my photos than my studies. Whilst I absolutely love this job it is entirely reliant on sales from any show that I am at - the venue does not pay me to be there, so any sales are the only payment that I receive. Which is why it is a kick in the teeth every time I see (often multiple at once!) photos on here with the big "IMAGE NOT PURCHASED" written across the middle – a very recognisable watermark that it meant to make people think twice before helping themselves.

I do absolutely believe that it is a lack of knowledge that causes people to steal photos, but please remember that a photographer is running a business the same as anyone else – you wouldn’t go to the hairdresser and just walk out without paying! Not to mention that it is a violation of the Copyright Act of 1988, so not only is it a blow to your photographer, but it is also a direct violation of this act.

When you buy an image you also buy the rights to share it on social media – so if you like a photo that much that you want to share it, please buy it first – I try to keep my rates as low as possible to cover costs but if you aren’t willing to pay for the photo, then please just don’t post it! If I recognise you as someone who does repeatedly share stolen images then I will be forced to no longer take your photo at a competition as it does more harm than good to my business.

If anyone would like to look more into the guidance surrounding copyright, this is a great place to start - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/copyright-notice-digital-images-photographs-and-the-internet .

I really hate to be a downer so I do want to say thank you to everyone who does purchase a photo or two at the events I cover, your support keeps me coming back and allows me to carry on my wee business (hopefully for many years to come).
