PaulOutWest Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I had an interesting experience this last week. I randomly came across two of my images on a web site (large travel aggregator) that I don't have a record of selling. The images were posted in 2013 and remain online. I figured it was a lost cause since it was an international company. I was able to find a phone number for a media relations person in their New York office and shockingly someone answered the phone. They were very courteous and asked for my information. Within 15 minutes, I got a call from their director of photography. He explained that they have an ongoing relationship with Alamy and sometimes images can fall through the cracks. He offered me $200 for the retroactive use and also relicensed both images through Alamy for the original $29 license. Also, after reviewing my work, they have added me to their contributors list for future shoots. We'll see if that actually happens but pleased with the outcome though.

Ed Rooney Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What? Good news? New Yorkers going out of their way to be fair and honest in business? This is not some cruel joke of yours, is it, Paul. Just kidding. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
