A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I asked for credit for my photos that are taken and sent to an organization. Never receive a reply back. (alien.top)

Hello! I was participating in a music festival recently. They asked me and wanted to use my photos, so I gladly took and shared them saying please credit me for the photos and if I could share these on media. They alwasys sent me emails within one day after I email them to the updates of editing the photos, and in the reply to my email with shared drive link, they mentioned they could access the photos, and wished for my successes and happiness along with very nice and warm words, but nothing about crediting me for the photos. I felt unsure, so sent another email saying, please do credit me for the photos as I mentioned in the previous email, and I haven't received a reply... I do know they are working on rebranding their website, and are thinking of using my photos, but I would not like them to do so if they are not crediting me for my work :( And if they do use my photos without crediting me, what kind of actions can I take? Currently, their website hasn't renovated yet, and the drive folder I shared is still open as I assume they already downloaded them. Any advice would be appreciated, please!

This is always so frustrating. I shot the cover of a famous comic book series. My name was published real small in the back of the comic book, I was never paid what I was supposed to be paid, and they continued using that image on their social media for years without EVER tagging or crediting me. Sometimes I come across a copy of it in comic book stores and that's cool and all, but it's bittersweet.
