I live in the UK and belong to the generation of professional photographers to whom the word 'photography' was synonymous with rolls and sheets of film, (although I later became fully digital).
When Annika got in touch when setting up AK Copyright I found someone who became an ally, willing to discuss options and giving me advice about infringements based on my working methods.
A good example of this would be when infringed images which had originally been shot on transparency needed authorship authenticated and where the lawyers, having trained in the digital era, said they required copies of the original RAW digital files together with screenshots of their metadata.
Of course, with film-based originals this was not possible so together we devised a simple work-around which seemed to be acceptable and has resulted in some valuable results. I can only commend her and her team for effectiveness, efficiency and great communications.
I am a photographer very active in the fields of art, architecture and urban landscape. The issue of unauthorized use of my images is increasingly relevant for me, while the effectiveness of the coyright platforms and companies really able to help photographers is going down.
Annika and AK Copyright as a whole are able to offer instead an excellent tailor-made approach, very much focused on details and able to consider many different sides related to some procedures that may be delicate, but always aiming towards providing a good result.
Besides the factual help in managing the cases, Annika can also provide serious suggestions and indications based on data and numbers. She is always supportive and carefully considers my indications and points of view.
And the results definitely arrived!
Entrusting AK Copyright is not only a strong and trusted way to protect the work of professionals but is eventually a way to educate the market too.
As a professional photographer, my work is not just a livelihood; it’s my passion and my creative expression. When I discovered that my photographs were being massively infringed upon on a global scale, I was devastated. Countless hours of creativity and effort were being exploited without my permission, impacting not only my income but also my sense of artistic integrity. That’s when I turned to AK Copyright, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their exceptional services.
From the very first consultation, Annika was incredibly supportive and understanding of the situation. She took the time to listen to my concerns, assess the extent of the infringements, and devise a comprehensive plan to hit back at the freeloaders. Her expertise in copyright law and her strategic approach to enforcement were immediately evident, and I felt confident that I had found the right partner.
Her legal team's enforcement actions were swift and effective. They have been relentless in pursuing those who had infringed upon my rights, securing appropriate compensation and sending a clear message that copyright violations would not be tolerated.
The impact of AK Copyright’s efforts has been profound. I can now focus on my passion for photography, knowing that my work is protected and that I have a dedicated team ready to defend my rights.
I wholeheartedly recommend AK Copyright to any photographer or creative professional facing copyright infringement of their imagery. Their expertise, dedication, and results-driven approach are unparalleled, making them the ultimate ally in protecting your creative work.
As a photographer with decades of professional experience, protecting my creative work has always been a top priority for me. Over the years, I have explored various services to safeguard my photos from copyright infringement, but none have matched the exceptional standards set by AK Copyright. Despite only collaborating with them for one year, their impact has been profound.
Over the past years, I have noticed that most competitors changed their approach, becoming increasingly impersonal and automated. This shift often leaves clients feeling like just another number, not knowing who in the team is handling their cases or if they are being taken care of at all. In stark contrast, AK Copyright offers a personalized experience that makes you feel valued and in good hands. Their team takes the time to understand the specific needs of each client, if necessary, also providing case-specific and individual solutions for more difficult cases. AK Copyright operates with an impressive level of professionalism and an unmatched work ethic.
What also sets AK Copyright apart from the competition is their consistency in delivering great results. In my many years of testing various services, I have never encountered a company that so thoroughly understands their job and the needs of photographers like myself. I highly recommend their services to any creative professional looking to protect their work
