Hi friends and fans! ๐
I wanted to post a friendly reminder that I love that my work is shared and used across several platforms of social media, I kindly ask you to not remove watermarks from photos unless it has been approved by me or purchased. I enjoy and encourage everyone to share and use photos as profile pictures, etc.
The images I share are my work and remain protected by copyright. Watermarks are intentionally placed on images to identify my work and protect it from being copied, stolen, altered, or used without permission. My watermark specifically states that screenshotting or removing the watermark is theft.
I work hard to create these images, invest in my equipment and time, and provide clients with the opportunity to properly purchase and receive their images without watermarks and love capturing all of these moments for everyone. I do not get paid to shoot at public events, but simply take photos for the love of photography and delivering memories that last a lifetime. ๐ค
Please respect photographers and small businesses by supporting their work instead of altering or removing identifying marks. Moving forward, cropping, editing, or removal of my watermark will be taken seriously as it is considered theft.
If you have a situation and would like to talk to me about the use of an image, Iโm very understanding and easy to work with. Please donโt hesitate to send me a message. ๐ค
My new watermark is displayed below. ๐
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Dirt & Dust Imagery and respects the work that goes into every photo. ๐ธ
