Ari Photography Copyright law

Hi out there in Internet world! Just want to remind everyone ESPECIALLY MUA's (Make up artists) and HAIR STYLISTS and venues that there are MAJOR copyright rules to photography (meaning most of us, myself included, can literally SUE someone who breaks the rules). I am happy to send a photo here and there to help out fellow vendors with their own marketing however the images may NEVER be cropped, ESPECIALLY with the logo cut out. Should you desire to use an image of mine I must be contacted prior. Doesn't matter how insignificant you may think the image is for. Should permission be granted, I must be given access to exactly what will be displayed wherever it is used. Simple courtesy for hours on end spent on our crafts peeps!!!! Ive got LOTS of eyes and ears out there:) Thanks!
