My younger brother is a senior this year, and just got his portraits taken. My mother went Thursday to pick up the disk with the prints they wanted to have in the yearbook, and he came down the stairs flustered and clearly miffed. He then relayed this to my mom.
An hour before my mom came to pick up the photos, he was doing another sitting with a student and his mom. But the whole time he was doing the shoot, Mommy Dearest is off to the side snapping the exact same pictures with her phone! The photographer told her eight times to please put the phone away, and she never acknowledged him. So now her phone's filled with the same pictures he just took, and she paid him for the sitting.
My mom told the guy he should have just stopped the shoot after the third or fourth time the phone was out and just charged them the sitting fee, but the photographer let out a kind of groan and shook his head, which meant he didn't and just finished the sitting. I hope he can get some justice here, because what's stopping the SC from making prints of the photos from her phone?
