Photographers! - Illegal Copying will damage your wealth!

By blocking a discreet logo or signature on the front surface in the corner of your photographs, you are not only adding the look of distinction to your work, but it is less likely to be illegally copied. Stickers or names on folders or the rear of prints can be easily obscured, whilst a blocked logo on the print is difficult to hide.
In our own studio ALL our social photographs are blocked even album prints. We get no client objections and reprint orders are excellent and sell lots of parent albums ! (we recommend that all your display prints should be blocked to avoid misunderstandings). After all photography is the ultimate designer product and should have its own designer label !!.
