Anonymous asked: Regarding the "artist" who steals others' art: when you become a member of Facebook you agree to the following: "... you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook." According to some, "transferable" here means that all FB users get the same license. If true, that really sucks.
Thank goodness you are about as wrong as you could be.

jfolmes asked: I saw you post re; aelhra. As much as I don't like this type of 'use' I really don't think you can do anything about it. It's same as andy warhol's shit or more recent Thierry Guetta's... the only exception is aelhra is not know and most likely never will be. BTW I like your stuff. J.
I could do something about it if I was able to find out any real info about this artist. Derivative works like this are actually illegal under copyright law. Especially ones that still have the original photo in the work.
This isn’t my photo but this artist Aelhra has stolen my work made hundreds of prints and then sold them as editions without bothering to credit me as the photographer or attempting to get my permission and then ignored all my attempts to contact them.
I am assuming that all of his or her other work is made much the same way.
manlyartadventure asked: Hey Man, I just saw that art based on that photo is being shown in an art show at The Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn this weekend. I saw it on the ToysREvil blog on Facebook. Hope that helps a little. So, it's your photo and someone's been using it for their own art without permission? That sucks.
Thanks for the info not my photo but this person has stolen mine before as well and sold prints of them
Also if you see this artist at a gallery let the gallery owner know they are featuring a douche that steals others people work
If anyone knows who took this original photo please let me know. This artist has been stealing my and fellow photographers work and creating shitty art from them for years and I haven’t been able to get them kicked off big cartel or Facebook because they hide the pieces in mystery packs or I can’t find the original creator.
Edit original photo by Jo Schwab who I wrote.

Anonymous asked: After you've finished the 50 Models, 50 States project, which I hope will result in the most awesome book ever, would you consider making an equally awesome book dedicated to the "Journey to the End of the Night" or "Temperance" series? Those pictures are really amazing. :-)
I plan on doing something with both of those series down the line. Not sure what or how yet, but we’ll see.

starksarcreactor asked: How do you prepare for a photoshoot? Do you develop a shot list ahead of time or do you figure things out on location?
It depends on what I’m shooting for. It isn’t too often I prepare a shot list, especially on location. Most of the time when I’m traveling I don’t know what sort of location I will have, so I have to improvise.
Shoots for some of my series I like to plan out mood, and I’ll have titles in mind that I’m looking to make photos to fit, but that is about the most planning I do.
iannorris asked: Hi Corwin! Have you ever thought about getting involved with the Suicide Girls scene, but offering a slightly alternative way of portraying the girls? I think your style of photography would lend very well to it.
I have definitely thought about it. For a long time I was primarily concerned about maintaining the copyright for my art work, so I wasn’t interested in it, but lately I’ve been seeing my art work and my portrait/content work really begin to separate from each other.
