Copyright, licences and takedown
1115 photographs, republished under Creative Commons and public-domain licences and credited to their authors — and the route to challenge any single one of them.
How photographs here are licensed and credited
This site ships no photographs of its own and licenses none from agencies. Every performer photograph is a Creative Commons or public-domain image republished from Wikimedia Commons, and for each one we hold the image, its author, its licence and, where we captured it, the page it came from. The credit line beneath the image is produced from that record, so an image cannot be published here without its credit.
Where no licensed photograph of a person exists, the page shows a drawn monogram panel and labels it as one. It never substitutes somebody else’s image, and it never leaves an unlabelled gap.

If the credit is wrong, ask for a repair
If you took one of these photographs and the credit names the wrong author, the wrong licence, or omits a link you are entitled to, write to thecamexpert2@proton.me. The credit is corrected and republished, and it needs no legal process.
Filing a copyright complaint
A notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) must contain six things to be effective. Send it to thecamexpert2@proton.me and include all six — a notice missing any of them does not start the clock.
The six required elements
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, specific enough for us to locate it — the page address and the image filename.
- Your contact details: postal address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
If your material was removed in error
A counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) must contain four things:
The four required elements
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed, and the address at which it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, postal address and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for that address — or, if you are outside the United States, of any district in which the service provider may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the notice or from their agent.
A valid counter-notification is forwarded to whoever filed the original notice. Material may be restored not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days afterwards, unless they first notify us that they have filed an action seeking a court order.
Not a copyright matter?
If you want a photograph or an entry removed because you are the person depicted rather than the photographer, that is a faster route with no legal test at all — see the ethics and consent policy. If a fact is wrong rather than a right infringed, use the corrections page.
