Guten Morgen,
ich sitze gerade in der Nähe von Karlsruhe, organisiere meinen Laptop neu und da fiel mir ein weiterer Summerflashback vom letzten Jahr in die Hände :)

Good morning my dears,

BREASTS!
Well, now I have your attention.

But the subject is not about breasts, but about an information that is widely unknown or just ignored, and affects every photographer (and any artist), whether professional or hobbyist.
I'm just going to take a look at the copyright in the photographs.

The creator (photographer) as a creator of his work has the sole power to decide where, how and when his pictures may be used. In the professional sector, royalties will be paid to the photographer in order to allow the client to use the pictures (depending on the use, these fees may exceed the admission fee).

How does this look like in the photographic event now?
In the case of fees paid by the organizers, there is usually no cost coverage (as a professional photographer), not to mention of a license fee, so most photographers in the event area post on their own page. There are very few exceptions. So the pictures can be used on Facebook. Any further use must be clarified with the author!

We want our pictures to be liked, that they should be shared and used as profile pictures. I am always pleased when in my "most hated" category, the "Morning Faces" on Sunday morning, the message pops up as, "X uses your image as a profile image".

But we do not want our pictures to be viewed as a wild game by everyone.

A few examples from practice?

A Swedish dancing school is applying her Kizomba courses with a picture of mine showing Xenia & Boris. A Dutch alpine vendor who sells Kizomba festivals (and a commission) through this app laughs at me when he sees the bill.

Just last week, 3 of my pictures were posted in a Facebook chat group to be used as a gift in a photo book. Spoken on copyright, I was thrown out of this group.

One of my pictures was used in Austria to promote a workshop, also without my consent.

The law is clear: anyone who uses images without the consent and attribution of the photographer pays double and triple the normal license fee. The attribution (or simply the Tagg to the page) is often forgotten by many users (we photographers live from this advertisement).

I like doing voluntary services for an organization called “Dein Sternenkind” (www.dein-sternenkind.at), but this is also a nonprofit initiative, but not for events and companies.
