Quo - Mexico

Happy to report, that my model and good friend, Rodrigo was successful in getting payment from Quo Magazine in Mexico City, that ran the above photo without my permission.

The magazine came into having my photo from when Rodrigo gave them a CD of images I had shot of and for him and his company Service 69 to interest the publication in making doing an article on him. Several months later he picked up the magazine to see one of the photos printed in the magazine.

We approached the publisher to come up with some sort of payment or we would be forced to pursue legal channels - which obviously the magazine did not want.

After a fair bit of dragging their heels Quo Magazine finally paid both Rodrigo and myself for using the photo -- a happy ending.

I think next time I'm in Mexico City, I will make an appointment to go in and see the Art Director at the magazine to see if there is any possible opportunities to have more of my images published since I already know they must like my work. (insert sound effect of light chuckling here)
