When it comes to photography, while not all my ideas are original, I’ve always put a lot of effort, hours and days of location scouting, brainstorming and passion into creating unique images:
But, apparently, there are others who are proud to call my pictures ‘their pictures’. I actually lost count of how many times that happened in the past. However, every now and then there are some photographers who actually advertise their businesses with my photos:
The funny thing about these last two is that I found out about them in the same day. The not so funny thing is that my images are just one of the many they stole and are advertising with. I’m not going to draw it for you, but you should be able to guess what the consequences could be if you happen to book them for your special day.
I’ll settle down with another 'funny thing’: I didn’t contact these photographers for the simple reason that I’m not skilled enough to deal with situations like this.
And for all the couples out there looking for a wedding photographer, just make sure you know who you are hiring. Better yet, send me an email: cosmindanilaphoto@gmail.com and we'll figure everything out.
Happy planning!

PS. In case you're wondering what awesome Punjabi wedding does this sought after image belongs to, it's the 4 year old Samita and Amrit's fortunate event.
Dupa Cosmin si dupa Google se ia toata lumea :)

DeleteI've been following your amazing work for many years now, and this makes me so upset to see that people are stealing your work! I hope you've hired a lawyer! This isn't right or fair! .. I can't wait until my wedding someday in the future so I can hire you! :) xo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your message!
DeleteThis happens all the time and I'm not wasting too much of my time over it, but I thought it was interesting how I found out about these two in the same day :)
I can't wait to be your wedding photographer! :)
