Fallen Angel
This is almost a Dror rant, so if you’re a prospective bride feel free to skip over this one.
For the last year or two, especially over the period when I was posting on the Digital Wedding Pro, I’ve had emails saying that various people are copying my images. So this is my official stand on the matter. I don’t mind, I don’t believe that photographers can plagiarize someone else’s work, you can shoot in the style of someone or give it a similar treatment. There is no actual way of shooting the very same image. So basically, if you’re going to copy my images, I’m flattered.
Now, this last week, I’ve gotten two emails saying that another SA photographer is pretty much giving answers from my blog to interview questions. Wow, doubly flattered, all those rants and brainwashing about breaking out of this SA wedding ghetto and shooting real images of real moments, who knew that you guys actually read that! Hopefully we’ll start seeing some real shifting of what counts as photography in this industry. Anyway, if you’re a photographer have a look around, you’re welcome to borrow any image you feel like recreating.
Expect to see many copies of this image soon. It’s an artwork at The Cradle called Fallen Angel. Beautiful. If you have a version of it and want a free link, leave a link to the image in the comments. You know you want to.
btw that’s from Melissa and Steve’s wedding at The Cradle.
UPDATE: Was just informed that Fallen Angel is by Beezy Bailey.
