Protecting My Work 📸
Lately, I’ve had people stealing my photos without permission. This isn’t just disrespectful—it’s against UK law. Under UK copyright law (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988), the creator of a photograph automatically owns the copyright as soon as it’s taken. You cannot copy, share, or use my photos without my permission. Violating copyright is a serious offence and can lead to criminal prosecution, fines up to £5,000, or even imprisonment, in addition to civil claims for damages.

Every photo I create takes time, effort, and fuel to capture. You ride an 8k KTM, and you don’t have the money to buy a photo?? Even your strugging with money. Just have contact me I can try make a deal.
It’s outrageous when people act like they have the right to take something I’ve worked hard for. Anyone who steals my photos will be added to a permanent list, reported, and their photos deleted. I see you pass at the track—I turn my camera away because it’s not worth my time or SD card space. Don’t test me—taking my work without permission is a criminal act, and I won’t hesitate to enforce the law. I have all ready reported the photos to facebook they dont take this lightly.
Because of this, I’ve had to make my watermarks more noticeable, even if it slightly affects the look of my images. If people won’t give credit, I’ll make sure the credit stays with the photo—like adding a QR code linking back to me.
I love sharing my photography, when you steal my photo. Make me want less likey share my photos. but please respect the work behind it. Creating is not just a hobby—it’s my craft, and it deserves respect. It has taken me 20 years to build these skills.
Photography is not just pointing a camera and shooting; it takes years of learning how to use software, cameras, lenses, batteries, gear, and SD cards. Steal my work, and you’re risking **legal action that can ruin you financially and legally.
THIS IS A WARNING.
