V. Copyright Protection Tactics

In attempts to maintain the integrity of the copyrighted photographs found on this site, several copyright protection methods have been utilized. Some of these tactics include, but are not limited to:

  2. Resizing of images
  3. Conversion of images to low resolution for web use
  4. Digital tracking of images
  5. Reverse image searches

Since the majority of the images are commissioned by private parties for personal use, they are not for sale. Portrait clients appearing on this site have granted permission for images to be used in the marketing of Toni C.'s photography services, but no wider use. Violating the photographer's copyright also violates the rights of the portrait client. Portrait clients retain the right to legal action against copyright violations. 

VI. Copyright Infringement is Serious

The act of infringing on a copyright is a very serious business and is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. The words and images on this site, and any other site associated with ACCreative, LLC, are the work of one person (the photographer), often in contracted conjunction with one or more parties (clients and contributors). Rights between the parties are stipulated, and followed. None of the work here is released under the Creative Commons. Everything is created with the intention of retaining all rights under US Copyright Law.

The U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, United States Code) protects photographers and other artists by granting them the exclusive right to distribute, copy, edit and publish their photography by license, transfer, or sale. The Copyright Law prohibits anyone from copying, scanning, editing or sharing photographic prints, images, or media without the written permission of the photographer. Violation of the Copyright Law can incur both civil and criminal penalties.

If you admire the work, you're more than welcome to book a portrait session of your own. If that's not an option, requesting permission is only a short email away. Most non-commercial usage, with proper attribution, is not a problem.

If you're a portrait client, you have your own set of rights. Ask during the Consultation, or review the Portrait Contact you've signed.
