SCREENSHOTTING IS STEALING. PERIOD.
Photography is how I make my living. I have years of experience, thousands of dollars invested in equipment and software, and hours invested in every session—from photographing & editing to delivering the final images.
WHEN YOU SCREENSHOT MY WORK INSTEAD OF PURCHASING IT, YOU ARE TAKING INCOME DIRECTLY FROM ME AND MY FAMILY.
I am sometimes made aware that a client truly cannot afford to purchase photographs, and I always take care of them. I would much rather someone come to me than screenshot my work or try to remove my watermark.
A WATERMARK IS THERE FOR A REASON. It means the image has not been purchased or licensed for use. Cropping it out, covering it, or using software or AI to remove it does not make the image yours!
PLEASE RESPECT THE WORK.
PLEASE RESPECT THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
If you love the image, PURCHASE IT. DO NOT STEAL.
