Elvis Rocks The Neon Nation

Everyone has a different journey to photography, and mine is rather practical: professionally, I handle a lot of voice over work and when I put up my website www.voiceovers.asia covering Asian language voice over talents I work with, I opted for a home page image featuring my Shure SH55 - for sheer rock ’n’ roll street cred, nothing comes close.

 

On the site image, I add text - location & tag line “Asia. Hear. Here.” I’ve carried this microphone to a load of Asian countries, shot nice pictures, uploaded full size to flickr and set as creative commons - no derivative, no commercial, etc.… which was stupid. A good microphone shot with no watermark gets used without credit waaay more than it should...

 

I like sharing my images, so everything is “All Rights Reserved” and I’ve added a subtle watermark. While it can easily be removed, from my experience, photo stealers are a lazy lot, so I’ll get screenshot evidence with the watermark there and follow up with an invoice for usage. Finally, I might actually make a few bucks out of this photography racket…
