What I wonder about is all the photos with the Suicide Girls logo on them...

Why wouldn't those be legit? Anyone can submit to SG and get them on the site. Getting payed is another matter.

awesome! congrats! (assuming you were in it since they featured so many of yours as pic of the day, which I saw well before I knew you were on MM)

Thanks..and yes I'm in the show. That's how I know about the language in the agreement to use the images. I was very particular in what the language was as I sell limited edition prints and no one is allowed to make copies in any manner since they would come away from the edition count. You see Vogue and the Gallery paid to have the prints made instead of each photographer printing their own and sending them to the show. I found that unusual. Apparently I was the only one. Everyone else agreed with the magazine that it saved the photographer's time and money. But since I sell limited edition prints I can't have extra copies out there. I'm also VERY particular on how my prints look..the reason and I have never let anyone else print for me.  So they reworked the agreement to my satisfaction and took notes on my print concerns. They are limited to making one print which will either be purchased or returned to me after the show. And I let them use one image as a poster to advertise the show. Though it took a few back and forth emails with their legal department they did all I asked in return. I figured they'd just drop me when I told them of the changes and restrictions I needed and obviously that was not the case. They were very respectful of my wok and complied with my every request making.

that is quite remarkable actually. it shows the level of respect they have for you as an artist, and how important it was to them to include you in the show.

Well, which of the one's I've seen do you think were really on Suicide Girls?

Please explain the point of uploading a photo to that site, then downloading it with the logo and publishing it on one's MM port or website. Why not just link directly to one's v.it portfolio if one is so proud of the illustrious honor of having a portfolio hosted

there?

I have 15 images selected and yes I linked it on MM to my Vogue Italia portfolio. (Check it out)

It is actually dificult to have images selected and what they do or don't select makes little if any sense.  I have beens there selected image of the day 3 times.  That means a little something, but not much.
