The scam about byahilo's photo's being stolen by ABS CBN show Boy 'n Kris is already the current talk of the town ever since byahilo posted his grievances on his blog. Now a fellow filipino artist is currently disappointed upon knowing that her photo is used on an online and print ad promo without her consent.
Ms. Alodia Gosiengfiao or Edj to her friends and fans is a well known model, cosplayer, musician and artist here in the Philippines. Though she haven't penetrated the local mainstream showbizness, her reputation as one of the most popular IT girl of Philippines is truly unparalleled. But the artists of the Earth Day Jam 2008 poster could be hiding on their caves for ages not knowing that they've used a photo of a well known personality without her permission.
Above left is the poster of the Earth Day Jam 2008 and on the right is Alodia's photo as a goth rocker. On the first look, from the boots to the guitar and pose it is pretty obvious that it is the same photo off course with slight alterations like the annoying globe replacing Alodia's head. It is also reported that the same poster is already printed and being displayed along the roads of Quezon City.
At the moment Alodia don't know how to handle the situation since she is also aware that the event is non-profit or free but professional friends had already advised her to get in touch with the events organizer to talk about this matter.
well, in the case of Alodia, since the event is non-profit they should at least credit her for the photos. With the case of ABS CBN naman, I think they have enough money to pay for that photo.
is it that hard to ask? i'm sure naman these people would appreciate it, added exposure for their works yan eh. some people can be really vile creatures. may karma din sila!! wala pa rin lusot kahit pala maglagay ka na ng watermarks sa pic mo. tsk.
So are you saying that she really deserve to be paid. According to the latest update, the event already apologize to her and Tricia (her photographer) and invited them to the event as VIP but Edj doesn't want to accept it. Now if what you say is true then she deserve to be compensated.
wala pa rin lusot kahit pala maglagay ka na ng watermarks sa pic mo. tsk.
