When uploading photographs to the iPhotography feedback gallery all images uploaded by students must 100% belong to that user. Students that are found to have uploaded an image(s) that do not belong to them 100% will have that image(s) removed and their account may be suspended from iPhotography. This includes reposting images owned by other gallery users without their expressed permission.
Composite photographs are allowed in the gallery, providing that any/all elements are either;
Images used for composites which have come from stock photo websites should only form part of the overall final composite. It should not be a straight replication/repost or more than 50% of the final composites artistic look.
Any photographs found breaking any of the aforementioned rules will be removed from the gallery and the user account may be indefinitely revoked from using the feedback gallery, subscription platforms (iPhotography PLUS), if relevant, and iPhotography courses.
We take copyright infringement extremely seriously for the protection of the gallery’s integrity and the protection of other photographers’ work.
Any images uploaded to the iPhotography Feedback Gallery may be used by iPhotography for purposes of promotion or advertising without prior consent. If possible, iPhotography will credit the original photographer on publication. Please do not post images to the Feedback Gallery if you do not agree with these terms.
The original photographer retains full ownership of their intellectual property.
As the use of AI-generated imagery and assets rises we ask that ANY gallery upload, that has used AI generation technology to either fully or partially create the final upload, is labelled as such either in the upload’s title or description field. Failure to do so may result in an account being restricted from using the gallery.
We are happy to see small uses of AI assisting tools in the instance of improving the image, for example, sky replacements, skin retouching and content-aware removal etc.
We actively discourage images that are fully (or over 50%) generated using AI-generated imagery platforms/tools such as Photoshop Generative Fill, Mid Journey, DALL-E2, Bing Image Creator, Canva Text-to-Image, Dream by Wombo, Craiyon, Night Cafe etc from being uploaded to the iPhotography gallery.
Uploading images that are generated using these AI tools be taken into consideration for POTD, Weekend Challenge and other gallery-based competitions. The overall decision to remove images from the gallery based on the use of AI lies with the iPhotography tutor team and parent company V-Learn. Users may not be notified of an image deletion.
The iPhotography gallery is a space for new and experienced photographers to share photographs with like minded people. The use of comments in the gallery is to aid with image feedback, suggestions and general communication with a specific user. Comments should not be unhelpful, rude, hateful or spam. Any accounts found to be breaching this purpose may be restricted from using the gallery or their account removed permanently.
All display names in the gallery must be displayed as the accurate name of the actual account holder. Pseudonyms, nicknames and alias’ are not allowed. Full names must be shown and not just usernames, surnames, or first names.
