I don’t think Hybrid is the one selling it. People have taken Simon Edwards and T’s photos and drawn them, painted them and even put them on shirts. They should definitely get some of the profits
Hey guys. A fellow on Instagram notified me about this.
My instagram is Lastredshoulder and that’s definitely my picture.
I messaged the fb page about taking it down and they ignored me and blocked me.
I had a few other friends on Instagram message them too.
Kind of bums me out that somebody would steal my hard work (Kenny and I spent hours taking photos for his party and wearing the gig in the later summer heat in NC isn’t fun all the time, though I love it) and make money off it.
The picture does have a small watermark near my chest but they scrubbed it off.
At any rate, I did report it on FB as a copyright infringement. Hopefully they will take it down. Please do not buy from them and spread the word.
I guess I should just make my own prints and cut out the middle man. I just never thought to monetize my hobby, you know?
You’re a good dude I can’t believe they blocked you. Embarrassing how low some people stoop. I will contact the seller as well and will spread the word not to purchase this. Unfair to use somebody’s work like this and not even offer and percentage, especially without even asking you first.
I guess I should get off my ass and make prints myself. I really don’t think much of what I do. I’m just a guy playing in a mask and enjoying halloween. So yeah.
Its a bit on the creepy side. But that’s life. It’s kind of cool to know people want the photo that bad.
Hey Hybrid, really shitty what’s going down here . You don’t even necessarily need to make prints (although that would be freaking awesome!), but you should look into Shutterstock or Alamy. You can upload your photo and they’ll do a large watermark for you and the only way for someone to use it is for money and they can’t monetize the image.
Wow, I actually had that FB ad saved so I could buy that print when I get paid. But now that I know what’s going on, there’s no way I could purchase it. Hybrid, let me know if you decide to make prints. I’ll be the first one lined up! And same with you Caleb. Amazing shots!
