'Just a thing done in the 
fashion business'--the
thing called acknowledgements
--not always, but when 
collaboration is good, and
integrity high!

BERLiNiB always asks for
a @berlinib reference in
instagram, or a berlinib.com
reference when photos taken
from a photo session organized
by BERLiNiB are posted. This
is not about strict rules:
we do not absolutely require
it. We simply say: it is in
good taste; we like it. Ignore
it if you wish, but it is in
the spirit of good communication
and high integrity in the
fashion business to refer
often. Now why?

Why do we ask that such as
a backstage photo, or a
photo taken during one
of the BERLiNiB editiorial
photo sessions eg by someone's
private phone gets references
to @berlinib or berlinib.com
when posted? Surely that
which is taken by own phone
is owned by the photographer?

But in the fashion business,
style is capital; future
style is even more capital;
and an idea that conceptualizes
a future style elegantly on
a model is still more capital.
So that is one reason: to
acknowledge origins--yes,
BERLiNiB suggested such and
such colors for such and
such production with such
and such types of clothes,
and such and such poses.

Another reason is: the Deja
Vu effect--'have I not seen
this before?' And any magazine
that only publishes original
photos made for it naturally
would like 'pre-versions' of
these photos through other
people's cameras who were
present to indicate, yes,
this is for such-and-such
magazine; and when the
magazine, a month or two
later, begins to show this,
people who have seen the
earlier form will nod and
not wonder whether this
in fact came from somewhere
else.
