It's always going to be an issue so just worth bearing in mind when you use stock photos. Eddie: thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your experience. So you're saying someone actually **stole** your image? It's a real shame people don't have more integrity when it comes to this. James: thank you for your comments!

The model for the shoot was a colleague and although she didn't harbour any dreams of becoming a model, her face was then used on another campaign within the same industry, who were incredibly a competitor to our client!!! Luckily the law doesn't shine favourably on copyright thieves!

I thought it was something to do with Grow your Business, but discovered it was someone who had used the same picture when designing his poster. He was somewhat embarrased though when I told him about the campaign where I knew the image from(he was from outside the area) Regards James Hi Fiona
