New self portrait series Colours now online.

 
 

Josh Campbell contacted me few weeks ago and we ended up having a nice chat about photography, social media and the creative process behind my self portraits.

You can read it all here on his blog.

Very proud to see my self portrait series On Your Face featured on this very influencial blog.

Is Tumblr any good for photographers? I'm trying to figure thIs out and still cannot form a proper opinion.
I've started my tumblr a while ago, left it there untouched for a while and then I started uploading some images.
If you want to check it out, this is it:

Thanks to Tumblr though, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) has published on its blog two of my images. Thsi is one of them:



Teeth - Self Portrait with Pain

Thanks to Google Images I've found out that my picture "Two Feet of Water" is being used in a WordPress e-commerce theme as a sample in the image gallery that comes with it. The theme can be downloaded from the Themeforest website and has been coded by Jami Gibbs. Like all other images used in the theme as a sample, I'm given proper credit and a link back to Flickr.
This means than whenever someone downloads the theme they get my picture as well. Currently there are loads of unfinished website using this template which still features my image as a place filler in the future image gallery for their products.
Not sure yet if I should be pleased or not about this. Will this image become an iconic photograph that everybody can instantly recognize and go "oh yeah, the two feet in bath tub shot". If that's the case I like the idea but like all iconic images no one really remembers who the author was.


"Two Feet of Water" - Emanuela Franchini

I’m about to review my list of clients and add a few I wasn’t even aware of.

Just by doing a search on the internet using some tools like Google Images and TinEye, I’ve come across some of my images being used by various companies and businesses. This is very flattering but it would have been more rewarding to be asked and ideally paid for the use.

So far I can list as new clients The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Fathom Creative Group and a Belgian band named Mans Ruin.

Below is a quick overview of the amazing work I managed to deliver for my new clients.

ABC - The Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Image used: Music Therapy

Fathom – A Creative Group

Image used: Two Feet of Water

22/02/2012 UPDATE:

Just found out that the guys at the Fathom Creative Group have now credited me on the picture by adding “photo by emanuela franchini”. I wonder what made them change their mind…??

Mans Ruin – Belgian band
Image used: Cheap 70’s Porn

The fact that I haven’t been paid for the work delivered to these clients is irrelevant, right?

It’s worth mentioning that I have applied a Creative Commons license to some of my images, Music Therapy and Two Feet of Water among them. This means that I’m happy for people to use those images but under specific conditions which are those stated in the license.

The License allows people to use my images under the following conditions:

Attribution — You must give the original author credit (I’ve looked but sorry, I can’t see my name anywhere…).

Non-Commercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes (it’s fine on a personal blog but certainly not a broadcasting corporation or a branding/design agency website).

 

No Derivative Works — You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work (unfortunately I can see some wild cropping on my images).

 

For reference, this is the Creative Commons license I’m using:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/deed.en_GB

And I have to say that I’m quite happy to once again have one of my images associated with music. I’m a little puzzled though to see Mans Ruin steal, sorry, I mean use for their mini EP cover the same pictures that has already been used with my consent by The Strokes on their website. It’s worth pointing out that the picture in question, Cheap 70’s Porn, does not have a Creative Commons licence.

So these are my recently acquired clients. I’ll keep running searches periodically in the hope that one day I’ll be able to list Sony or Apple as my clients.
