Hi everyone; its come to my attention that my photos have started to be used by other people without asking me or at least crediting that it is my photo. Because of this, all photos from now on, and my more popular photos will be uploaded with a watermark across the image.
It's flattering to see people like the photographs I take, but they are not free to use, especially if you crop out the source. It's takes time and effort to take these photos and edit them also; seeing them appear elsewhere is quite disheartening and rude to be honest. It may just be a photo, but it is my passion and my own work. I haven't put the watermark across the image so far because it ruined the photos to me, and I trusted people would respect my work. In light of recent events that will now stop.
Thank you to everyone who does not abuse my trust, and to those that support my photography, I appreciate it.
