"I recently joined a photography club because I wanted to meet other photographers, improve my skills and share my work in a supportive environment. Most members are great, but one person has started posting some of my photos online without my permission and giving himself credit as the photographer. It makes me feel frustrated and disrespected, and I'm not sure how to handle it without creating conflict within the group. I don't want to come across as overly sensitive, but I want my work to be respected and credited properly."
"Now is the time to be direct. Posting your work as their own is plagiarism, plain and simple. Go to the group at the next meeting and complain publicly. Ask how it could have happened that the art you brought to show the group would be posted by someone else without crediting you. Do not bring any more work to the group until this issue is handled. Address it head-on."
A club member reports that another member posts their photographs online without permission and claims credit, causing frustration, anxiety, and reluctance to share work. The suggested response is to address the issue directly and publicly at the next meeting, question how the photos were posted without credit, and stop bringing additional work until the situation is resolved. The behavior is labeled plagiarism and treated as disrespectful to creative effort. A separate household issue begins with a roommate asking permission for a weeklong guest stay, generating regret and concerns about shared space and accommodation comfort.
