Photo News: More Annie legal trouble – Controversial AP photo republished – New Flickr iPhone App – RESOLVE Editor podcasted
Posted by Melissa Dubasik
It seems that Annie Leibovitz’s legal and financial woes won’t be coming to an end any time soon. While a New York judge granted her an extra month to respond to a $24-million lawsuit from Art Capital Group, Italian photographer Paolo Pizzetti is suing her for $300,000 for using two of his photos in the infamous Lavazza coffee ad campaign without his permission.
In RESOLVE news, editor Miki Johnson was interviewed Thursday by Cheri Amour, the ambitious young photographer who runs Young Photopreneur, an online resource for aspiring photographers and photo students. The podcast includes advice about leveraging your website and using social media to expand your photo business.
The iPhone and Canon XTi have been competing for the most popular camera on Flickr for a while. With the launch of Flickr’s new iPhone App, the Apple phone might soon regain its throne. Check out TechCrunch‘s rave review for details on the app.
The Associated Press’s auto-feed slideshow function is causing some trouble. A controversial photo of a U.S. Marine’s last moments appeared on some news sites without their knowledge, even after they decided not to run the image. AP explains that a lot of newspapers use an AP-run feed that automatically updates content and images, which included the photo on Friday, September 4. The photo has since been removed.

The curious case of Annie Leibovitz
Ms. Leibovitz’s legal problems increased yesterday when a set designer in New York sued her for $160,000 in unpaid fees. Will more of these will be coming out of the woodwork? Who was managing her business? How culpable are her studio manager and accountants?

UPDATE: PDN just reported that Art Capital has dropped the lawsuit and Annie has regained control of her photo archive…for the time being anyway.

I’ve just recently met Cheri Amour, but in the short period I’ve known her, she has really impressed me. Not only does she have many talents, but she’s very open to helping others in their photographic endeavors. YoungPhotopreneur.com has provided me with so much helpful information, I now feel 10 times more confident to start my photography business. Great interview on Young Photopreneur Radio with Miki Johnson. Miki was VERY helpful and thorough. I had never heard of LiveBooks until Cheri mentioned it to me, I am now a loyal fan of both YoungPhotopreneur.com and this Resolve blog! EXCELLENT resources!! Thank you!!:)

I met Cheri on Twitter and she has such a great outlook on life and the photography industry. Not only does she have a love for photography, but she also has a love for the business side of photography and isn’t shy on sharing her knowledge to others. I downloaded the interview she had with Miki and thoroughly enjoyed it! Not only is this Resolve blog one of my recent favorites, but the Young Photopreneur blog is exceptional as well:) Thanks for sharing! I’ll be back soon:)

Cheri ROCKS! She spoke at my school, and has opened my outlook on the photography industry. I always thought it was a hobby for most people, and never REALLY knew how to get into the industry. I really appreciate her introducing me to a new world. I now have a digital camera and have been learning about photography. I’m only in junior high school, but I already love this form of expression!:)
