Hi everyone,

I’m a photographer from Belgium. I discovered one of my photos has been printed illegally and is on one of the walls in a cruise ship. It’s a major US company. I discovered this because a passenger recognized my work and sent me a photo of it.

Does anyone now what’s the best thing to do here?

Thanks!

    One thought is to contact the cruise lines and prove that this is your pic that was used without consent. From there you have a few options

    1. They can continue to use but have to give credit by amending the painting to add your name
    2. Go the lawyer route as others mention here
    3. Do nothing
    4. Shame them on social media

    The last option may not do much because it may not be reach enough people to have an effect that solicits the cruise line to do anything.

    The first option is the best imo because it is free advertising for you
