šØ IF YOU WOULDNāT SHOPLIFT FROM A STORE, PLEASE STOP STEALING FROM YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER. šØ
Because it really is no different.
When you screenshot an image from an online gallery instead of purchasing it, you are taking something someone createdāsomething that has valueāwithout paying for it.
Our gallery images are watermarked and clearly state that screen capturing the images is prohibited.
And PLEASE donāt take it a step further by screenshotting an image and then running it through AI or watermark-removal software.
At that point, you arenāt accidentally saving a photo. You are deliberately removing the protection from an image you know you did not purchase.
We work incredibly hard to photograph horse shows, and purchasing the images you love is what makes it possible for professional photographers to continue showing up.
If we discover that an image has been screenshotted without purchasing, an invoice will be issued for the image along with an additional unauthorized-use/copyright fee.
If you want to save an imageāpurchase it. Then itās yours to enjoy. šø
