p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wedding dress store


So a nice wedding dress shop asked me to use photos from recent wedding for their website, i said yes of course. It is a very nice store so I asked if they want a canvas print of the bride to display on their shop with a liitle signature of my website below it. They said.. Absolutely! I sent them the canvas, took them a while to put it up. It was finally up. I told the bride that their photo is at that store. They went visit the store, the freaking store gave them the canvas because they are redoing the wall. What the fuck? I just want to blow some steam.

Wow.... that seriously blows. How long was the canvas on the wall that they wanted to redo the wall?

Sorry to hear that . I sometimes do such informal gestures to local businesses, but you can't really anticipate them doing something like that.

I guess the other perspective is: you gave them the image to advertise for free and gave them a material product for free - so to them it really wasn't worth much and it didn't mean much to just cast it aside. Despite the time you put into creating the product, and the very real cost.

Perhaps the silver lining of this is the perspective can make us all think about how we run our businesses. (I'm just thinking out loud here, not at all shitting on you, I'd be pissed too)

Happy shooting!

That's annoying. It could backfire, but I'd be tempted to send over another canvas, hoping they get the message of "Hey dumbass. This time, keep the damn thing on your wall."

Side note: Order canvases from cgproprints.com - very inexpensive and great quality. I've ordered around 10 from them so far, ranging in size from 16x20 to 48x60.

They're great quality prints but very poor quality construction. I wouldn't recommend selling them to clients personally but they're fantastic for this sort of thing and inexpensive samples.

I thought you were pursuing legal action with this?

Annoying but I can see how it happened. They are going to chuck it out and brides comes in so they figure why not, it was given to them free no strings attached anyway.

With things like this, pictures getting re-edited etc. I just no longer sweat it or I'd be angry all the time and it just isn't worth it much like getting cut up driving somewhere. Non-photogs just see and treat pictures differently to us and often the intent isn't malicious. I just saw the a wedding singer's promo pics I took arrive on FB with crushed blacks and instagram filters all over them. She is excited about the pictures, I got paid; getting bent out of shape will only hurt me.

BTW Great shot though, I can see why they wanted it.
