Can officially add this to my portfolio.

Dupont Registry

(no not the cover)

(they cropped my logo out)..but I have the original!

ONLY Cigar bar listed!!


And this will not be the first time my work will be in there.

 

That's fucked up that the photo credit goes to the cigar place instead of you.

Just got a copy today in the mail.

 

i conquer but congrats non the less... post your original

 

yeah was that the cigar shops doing or the publication?

 

Little bit of both.


The signature was white on it.

Need to dig thru all the files...I have over 60files of work for them.

 

Congrats, but i would be slightly upset if i was in your position...

 

congrats!!!

 

I'd sue

 

I'd definitely have a word with the cigar store and magazine. What you have to do is hide a small logo somewhere in the photo. I have done it a handful of times and no one EVER notices it because of how discreet it is. But it will come in handy if someone does something similiar such as this, and I can point out the discreet logo

 

Did you get paid for this? Was it given to the Cigar place? It seems it was hence the " Photo Courtesy"

A logo is NOT standard for a print credit. Its actually unheard of in the professional field. Photo credit is typically in the byline. But never a logo. Thats tacky, i dont know of any publication that would run a logo photo credit.

If you did this for free for the cigar shop and are just happy to be printed, please do yourself (and the rest of us pros) a favor, start charging. The second you start giving photos away, it devalues you work and devalues your photo market. And in this case, you hurt yourself in the process, because if you did this for free, you didnt even GET PHOTO CREDIT.

I certainly hope that you took photos of said Cigar business, and got paid, therefor allowing the cigar business to use your photo in editorial purposes only, if you allow your photos to be used in Promotion/Advertising, i certainly hope you charged more. And if that is teh case, then you are certainly not going to get byline credit, however you can still use it in your tear sheets.
