The Mail used a picture of Emily Clarkson without permission and the photographer’s response gets better and better
To the world of the Daily Mail – stick with us, please – where the paper used a picture of Emily Clarkson without photographer Alexandra Cameron’s permission.
Hi @DailyMailUK – this is my image which needs a licence. Kindly refer me to the right person so I can send an invoice. pic.twitter.com/aH5NDvSMpQ

Just in case that’s tricky to read in full.
And Alexandra Cameron – @Alex_Cameron on Twitter – wasn’t letting it lie.
@DailyMailUK seriously no response?
— Alexandra Cameron (@Alex_Cameron) January 9, 2023
Still nothing…

When she finally did get a response …
I’ve received an email people! Now let’s see if they agree to the fee for misuse…will let you know.

Update! Got a call from Daily Mail as the image wasn’t just used online, they actually PRINTED it without consent too!
So, how much do I charge folks?

Ooof.
I finally have an update. The Daily Mail has been in touch and they’re going to pay the updated fee requested of £1500 for print misuse and £500 for online misuse, though I didn’t get to hear it from John, such a shame. HOWEVER….

I was recently informed that they used ANOTHER of my images without licence or request in an online article LAST OCTOBER!
