The stealing of images and their use as Inspiration \/ Mood Board Images is rife<\/strong><\/span> in this industry. The VERY ones that STEAL are the same ones that get upset when some one uses their images without permission or compensation! Weird huh!?

1)<\/strong> So you are Inspired by an Image<\/strong> – resulting from the HARD WORK &\u00a0INSPIRATION of a Photographer, Stylist, H + MUA, Designer, Assistants, Crew, Models, Prop Costs, Location Travel and Costs, the clients Fees to have that image produced and etc<\/span>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Seek Permission<\/strong> from Copyright owner for it\u2019s use OR Link to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) <\/span><\/strong>Clearly state, at the BEGINNING of the POST and\/or\u00a0the credits that the work is not yours<\/span><\/strong> – don\u2019t bury it at the end where most people will not see it, misleading people into believing it is your work OR<\/strong><\/span> that results of your work will look something like the stolen Inspo images – as most people don’t read the entire post!<\/span><\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> Otherwise you are are nothing more than a common thief who is too stingy to pay for it\u2019s use & credit the copyright owner OR link to the image and clearly and honestly state it is not your work! If not it would be just like stealing music and videos and lollies and what ever else – Common Theft of Copyright \/ Intellectual Property! AND<\/span> Food \/ Money right out of the mouths of the creatives listed in 1) that it COST\u00a0to create the image ..<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5)<\/strong> … and when you are busted for stealing – Don\u2019t get defensive<\/strong> and pretend you didn\u2019t realise or don’t know or just for Inspo etc – have the balls to admit you are a thief and apologies and rectify it! Especially if you are a so called \u2018Professional\u2019 Artist in the same area!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

6)<\/strong> So, you are prepared to STEAL<\/span> and NOT pay, credit or acknowledge the hard work and results of other creatives to advance your Portfolio \/ Business?<\/span><\/strong> What else will you do to achieve that?<\/span> STAY AWAY from PEOPLE LIKE THIS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

7)<\/strong> Why do they do this?<\/strong> Because the images they \u2018Inspire\u2019 (Aspire) to achive are NOTHING like the reality of their actual work \/ abilities<\/span> and they find the need to dupe people into thinking the final results will be something like the \u2018Inspiration\u2019 Images<\/span>, in order to gain interest and\/or participation<\/span>! Harsh? Perhaps. True? Absolutely, I believe!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
