Hum...there should be some compensation....at least a photo credit. I'd scream untill they gave me that at least. Is it paper publish or web?

And in the future...make your siggy bigger on them so they have to loose someof the image if they take it.

Good luck, I'm sure you have your original file...take it and go complain!

Ditto on what Crystal said.

They owe you. I also think that if they were to give you credit now, it would be lost. Your name should have been on that article/feature when it was first published.

Now it's down to dollars.

Ive done work for auto magazines before. They owe you. CASH period. You own those photos. Send them a bill for it and call till they pay you.

If you need more detailed help shoot me an e-mail (jonathan@rochinphotography.com)

[isam250]

i wasnt shooting for the this feature, just did a rig shot and posted it on a forum. then was looking myspace and saw it on his page.

[RochinPhotography]

exactly. They STOLE your image. They MUST reimburse you.

[imported_JeromeL]

i totally agree. that is a STOLEN IMAGE. call about it.

[imported_timothybui]

Eh, 2 of the photos on there belong to me. Don't see my complaining. -_-

[windrivermaiden]

Well, You should be.

Have some pride....If you give it away for free, who will be willing to buy the cow? (when you finally ask for respect for your skills).

Oh well, I'm too busy to even try to worry about those little things. It's an online article for ride of the month, no biggie. My name has already been issued on EuroTuner Magazine.

Can't always let the little things bug you all the time.

In this industry so call entertainment, my name has been spreading out for the night life photography here in Hollywood. Hopefully soon to launch two website up soon.

i would be totally pissed, CALL IT!!!!

Timothy, You should never "let it go" Thats why this industry "Photography" (not entertainment) is the way it is. Specially in the automotive industry which I know used to get decent 4 digit incomes for a feature spread. With so many "I have a dslr and Ill shoot it for free" attitudes your lucky to get 300-400 for that same project. You have to keep your standards high.
