Hey guys, I have a bit of a dilemma here.
Went on holiday with some friends some time ago and one of them asked me to take some pictures for him for his Instagram profile. I did that and tried to work the colors to match his feed. After that he asked for the raw files, insisted on it. As it was kinda also holiday pictures, I gave them (not happily). Now he’s publishing the pictures I took, with his own “filters”, without tagging or crediting me (and honestly he’s doing a really bad editing job). I’m a bit torn cause I do photography professionally but these were taken on a holiday situation. I don’t want to argue with him but I want him to understand that what he’s doing is wrong imo, especially because he works in the events sector and should know what intellectual property is…
What do you think?
Clients are not friends. Friends are not clients.
Choose which relationship you want it to be and act accordingly.
