neo_lam: Nice (though a deeper DOF would be better.)

lwliam: Congratulations, now go shoot some full-frame!

zstan: Congratulations. No, you must insist on credit, since they are not paying you.

I've had enough of NST's unprofessionalism (they misquote me, or create a quote because my quote on a certain matter was "not interesting enough".) Sure the people who did that are no longer there, but it's still a terrible thing to do.

Meanwhile, about the newspaper that published your picture:

They could, and should, pay some photographer, or their staff photographer, to go there and shoot - they can claim mileage for travelling from office to press conference and back. They even get a credit line. They don't use their own camera, they take the office camera and pro lenses, which is covered under office insurance.

You don't even claim anything from them, you bring your own gear at your own risk of being elbowed by other photographers (and breaking/dropping gear), and you give it to them for free, and they don't even credit you!

The other problem with this is, you're denying their staff photographer a chance to do their job and get paid for it. If they can't get paid because you've done it for free, you can see in the future that nobody will ever get paid for photography.

If you've done a better job than their staff photographer has (why else is your picture there?), then you're worth more to the newspaper than the staff was!

kev da man: Don't let that happen to you! They do have a space for credit line so they should credit you.

How about paid but not credited? Is RM30 per photo in a magazine considered reasonable?

Pic Spam

haha.i found one more picture of mine that appeared at nanyang!

well i think i don't deserved to be credited.my dad's company is sort of the event manager for that event. only a handful reporters were there. nobody with a pro-SLR like me. only 1 girl from sin chew using a PNS. so at the end of the day, my company sent my pictures to them along with the press release for the news to be published.

and no, my dad didn't pay me a single cent. he say i very lucky he didn't charge me tuition fees to get me exposed to such an event.


getting paid from taking pics is hard job huh?

Thanks. Its the Aromatherapy incense . Burn two of em and wait something magical happen

seriously? no ps ?

the writer should credit the photos appropriately. its basic reporting 101

lol that one is normal with nst.....is there any place to apply for copyrights in malaysia in regards to digital photos and videos and stuff?

tanjq87: Imagine you were assigned by the magazine to take pictures for them. They should bear the costs.

For example, if an event is going on at KLCC. How much is parking? How much is the travel cost from your office? How much do your batteries cost for your flash? Are you putting your equipment at risk?

I do understand that sometimes there is no space for a credit there and then (like the guy whose shot was used in Iron Man.)

noprob: Er, what is the point of the shot?

zstan: Don't let anybody, not even your dad, tell you otherwise. You shot it, you deserve the credit. At the very least they can say "picture courtesy of X company."

kev da man: As far as I know, the moment you create something, you own the copyright. Not sure where this article ties in:
