The Atlantic should have Googled Jill Greenberg before hiring her

I don’t feel sorry for The Atlantic magazine.

They are quite upset after discovering that Jill Greenberg, the left-wing photographer they hired to take photos of John McCain, is a deranged lunatic who manipulated pictures of the candidate to put him in a bad light — and then posted hateful photoshops of the images on her personal website and gloated about it to the Photo District News website.

Sample of her unhinged defacing of McCain’s pics, which looks like something straight out of a Democratic Underground thread: (See article for photos)

Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg, whose cover story was tainted by Greenberg’s work, writes: “Greenberg doctored photographs of McCain she took during her Atlantic-arranged shoot, which took place last month in Las Vegas. She has posted these doctored photographs on her website, which you can go find yourself, if you must. Suffice it to say that her ‘art’ is juvenile, and on occasion repulsive. This is not the issue, of course; the issue is that she betrayed this magazine, and disgraced her profession.”

Are they upset about what happened?

Or that it was discovered?

Or that it was discovered AND published?

Or that it was discovered AND published AND embarrassed the Atlantic Magazine?

I LIKE the picture of Senator McCain on the cover of Atlantic Monthly. It makes him look tough and an islamofacist’s worst nightmare. The bimbette may have thought she was harming McCain, but I think the joke is on her.

Correct and this is the photo everyone will see.
Not the altered photos

Just when you thought these commie artistes couldn't sink any lower. Totally devoid of ethics. She hurt her cause all in all, so good

Hey, don’t dis old Andy. He knew how to keep things running smoothly down there in Mayberry, how to keep Aunt Bea happy and Barney out of trouble. If many people in our news media today suddenly had to find another line of work, they’d be lost.

*** What I don’t understand is, if she was contracted by the magazine to take photos, and the magazine had the subject (McCain) appear for the shoot, then why don’t the photos belong to the magazine? ****

In cases like this all photographs belong to the photographer - period. There is an implied copyright the moment that shutter clicks. The photographer then 'loans' the pictures to the magazine for publishing.

Now if the photographer works for the magazine, or a newspaper (on the payroll) that's different as he's acting as an agent of them.

In the olden days we had 'Model Release Forms', but in reality they were just a formality/courtesy. I think I still have some in one of my old camera bags, they're polly all yellow and brittle by now.

Yes. They could have rejected the photos. Apparently they liked what they saw. (the pigs)

The joke is on her:

The Atlantic gets a cover that makes McCain look like the kind of tough old codger who can snap your neck without setting down his scotch neat, and McCain gets the benefit of the backlash against her petty little drawings.

It works out okay.

Nice gig, then. Get paid to take photos, have the subject delivered to you on a platter, and keep the photos to sell later.

Yep. Think of the photo exhibits you see by famous photographers like Annie Leibowitz or Steven Meisel. The only way a free-lancer can keep going is to have full rights to his or her own portfolio of work, and be able to show it to prospective clients. Free-lance artists have to generate their own income stream, pay their own benefits, manage their business and still do the artistic work that makes them worth their fees.

That's why artistic integrity is important, and why even other photographers are slamming Jill Greenberg. Their livelihoods depend on good will and trust that the images will not be used to defame the people they photograph. Artists often live hand-to-mouth, and work hard to keep good relations with clients and potential clients. It is appalling to dread that the expense of lawyers and ironclad contracts would have to enter every photo transaction to keep things like this from happening again. She is a traitor to the profession.

Jill Greenberg. Have some fun at her expense. If anyone has other pictures of her (good old YouTube), there's no limit to what you can do!

Jill Greenberg is just an enabler for the Atlantic. The Atlantic isn’t the least bit sorry about her pictures.
