why the hell would you be upset? it's not like they're personal photos or anything, they're fukcing cars.

**TROLL** · 08-12-2008, 08:09 PM

because the photos were used without my consent, technically. we were discussing the use, i didnt grant them permission.
if its a hobby then sure you just want to get published, but when its work its something you need to be paid for. useage rights are actually quite serious and very important in the field.
no worries though, i'm talking to them now so its all good. i'm confident that we will work out something fair for the use of my photos.

thats awesome to get your pics in there. i need to try and start getting some pics published. any tips on going about that that may help?

GregV · 08-13-2008, 12:49 AM

congrats. register those copyrights ASAP and get back in touch about compensation ;)

**TROLL** · 08-13-2008, 12:52 AM

artwork is copyrighted the moment it is created

. however the law states you can't pursue legal action over copyright without first registering it.

TurboV · 08-13-2008, 02:35 PM

Congrats! But that is quite the shocker... at least they did credit you with your name, that's better than nothing I suppose.

2drStunner · 08-13-2008, 02:51 PM

Sweet pics! Tell them we want a page or two dedicated to TST!

omgjacki · 08-13-2008, 05:53 PM

Congrats! I just picked up this issue the other day. Haven't looked through it much except for the S13 article, but nice to see another members' pictures in IT.

vwcorradokid · 08-14-2008, 12:12 PM

Troll, you should tell them that Barry wants modeling fees paid for too. LMAO!

05Accent · 08-14-2008, 12:17 PM

thats sweet..

olmytsi · 08-14-2008, 01:06 PM

They should have contacted you to get permission and at least send you a few copies of the magazine.

**TROLL** · 08-14-2008, 01:08 PM

too bad barry wasnt wearing a TST shirt!!!!

Vince@R/TTuning · 08-14-2008, 01:18 PM

Thats cool, but if you actually did get a hold of them to discuss being paid for your photos, they probaly would have just used someone else's that they didn't have to pay for....

bmatyeah · 08-14-2008, 01:45 PM

good job dude, i know its not an easy task. Guess they liked your preview!

**TROLL** · 08-14-2008, 01:47 PM

If a magazine (or any business) could get away without paying their employees I'm sure they would, however no decent photographer (or employee) would work for free, its just not how it works. If they make money, I make money... thats how I look at it (meaning that at times personal use and charitable organizations are exceptions to getting paid for me)

Vince@R/TTuning · 08-14-2008, 04:47 PM

I agree, i know how it works. But they probably feel giving you the credit and the exposure u will receive, and also being able to add it to your portfolio is payment enough. Not saying i agree with it, but it happens every day im sure....

**TROLL** · 08-15-2008, 06:13 AM

I see what you're saying and I'm sure there are desperate kids out there who would assume the position for a magazine like Import Tuner, but for the most part thats not really how it works. A noob who works for $0 is probably going to produce $0 worth of material. Anyone with experience and talent should understand what they're worth and not get taken advantage of.
Its like me telling you you can build a car for me with all parts at cost and 0 labor and it will be great experience for you and that I'll be a good reference for you in the future. You'd never do it and I'd never expect it... same thing in the media industry. Writing, photography, editing, layout, printing, etc... they are all essential jobs that go into getting that magazine on the stands every month and keep it profitable.
