YES!

Heres the flickr mail i got:

Hello tristantinn,


My name is Sandy, working at LIZ Editions, Paris, France.


I have the pleasure to announce that your photograph

LINK REMOVED

has been selected to be published in this photographic book: Red Inspiration!


This book, part of the collection COLORS, brings together 300 of the most pertinent photos illustrating this powerful color.


At the end of the book, there is a Photographer Directory that lists the web address where you can be contacted - to consult your biography or any information concerning your photo (legend, anecdotes, copyright).


Edited by LIZ Editions, the LIZ-books (a total of 96 works, including Red Inspiration) present elite photos taken by those who show a particular passion for the art of photography as well as young professionals.

Removed the links and emails but there you go! Just goes to show, all i did was post it on flickr. No sign of money, but i'm not fussed. Talk about getting exposure!  Grin

Worldwide distributed book should do it. Grin


Heres the shot i got in:



Sooo Chuffed!
Shame its not riding, just took it arsing around whilst bored... Smiley

Wish i'd bothered to centre the flash  Roll Eyes

Not really a scam, the book gets published, sold on amazon etc.

I get a mention, and a link to my online gallery. People see that.

Yeh they get to use the image, but i do not pass over the image rights. And no i don't have to buy the book, think they send me one.

If they don't i'l ask for one, if i don't get one, im not buying one.

The way it's worded makes it sound like a scam to me Undecided

They should be politely asking for your permission and offering you payment, not making out as if you have won something.

They are making money from your hard work, so you should be compensated.
