The conversation that seems to almost never happen. If I saw this ad with all that amazing gear in the photos in the amazing room, selling an amazing looking custom amp I would think this guy has some amazing gear! Then he says he has more "well maintained pieces" for sale. I did not get asked if I would like to help sell his amp with my photos of what is a ton of expensive gear in my room with the amp "doing it's thing". I would not have minded if asked, and would have asked for a mention with a link to the photos from my site, or I would have asked them to kindly remove them. Most know this already. In fact media outlets try this all the time, and they obviously know when they are doing and that it is wrong, not to mention illegal. Yes I do copyright my photos on the regular. When you knowingly use multiple photos I took with possibly a very expensive camera rig on my nice kitchen table or audio room to help sell your item without any reference or mention what is that called? I understand why my photos were used. They are decent photos of great gear in a great room (being a bit sarcastic). It's easier in this day and age to right click and take them to use as seen fit. That's why I copyright. It's a pain in the ass but I have done it since 2003 for very important reasons. I lost $25,000 on a single image because I wasn't informed. That happened once.
I can go into how my worldwide drone company goes through this all the time as well.
This is just a friendly example, I thought I’d share from my end. Hug a photographer today.
