OUDF602: Uncredited Published Content

An online newspaper from 'The Tab Leeds' released an article that included a series of my photography. As I was delighted that my work is finally getting out there to a vast audience, my excitement was quickly brought down as I realised that they hadn't credited me. The article is regarding a Made in Chelsea star Jaime Laing's disappointing appearance at a nightclub. 

I went ahead & asked for some advice from a closed group for photographers on Facebook and I quickly got a valid response illustrated below.


I thought to myself that even if the subject being written about is receiving a lot of bad press lately, I doubt it would affect me. I went ahead and emailed the editor of the article and politely asked if they could credit the source of the images. 

Here's the link to the article: Fans left gutted after Jamie Laing's disappointing appearance.

Late on that day, yet another unrelated article got published & again more of my work was used to illustrate. This article was from the same publisher. The link is below:

This hasn't been resolved yet as the editor hasn't responded to the email I sent. Although I am grateful that my work is being taken seriously by other practitioners, it would also be helpful to be credited as it would help me receive more recognition from potential clients.
