Copyright, licences and takedowns
1115 photos, reused under Creative Commons and public-domain licences and credited to their authors, and the way to challenge any one of them.
How we license and credit photos
This site has no photos of its own and buys none from agencies. Each performer photo is a Creative Commons or public-domain image reused from Wikimedia Commons. For each one we keep the image, its author, its licence and, where we recorded it, the page it came from. The credit under the image is built from that record, so no image can go up without its credit.
If no licensed photo of a person exists, we show a drawn monogram panel and label it as one. We never swap in someone else's image, and we never leave an unlabelled gap.

If a credit is wrong, ask us to fix it
If you took one of these photos and the credit names the wrong author or licence, or leaves out a link you have a right to, email thecamexpert2@proton.me. We correct and republish the credit. No legal process is needed.
Making a copyright complaint
To be effective, a notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) must contain six items. Send it to thecamexpert2@proton.me with all six. If any item is missing, the notice does not start the clock.
The six items required
- The physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of someone authorised to act for the owner.
- A description of the copyrighted work that you say was infringed.
- A description of the material you say infringes, detailed enough for us to find it. Give the page address and the image filename.
- Your contact details: postal address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the copyright owner, its agent or the law does not authorise this use.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

If your material was removed by mistake
A counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) must contain four items:
The four items required
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- A description of the material that was removed and the address where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the material was removed because of a mistake or a misidentification.
- Your name, postal address and telephone number. You must also state that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any district where the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the notice or that person's agent.
We pass a valid counter-notification to whoever filed the first notice. The material may be restored no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after that, unless the filer first tells us they have started a court action to stop it.
Not a copyright issue?
If you are the person in the photo or the entry, and not its photographer, and want it removed, there is a faster way with no legal test. See the ethics and consent policy. If a fact is wrong and no right has been infringed, use the corrections page.
