Paris judge orders designer John Galliano to pay photographer William Klein damages

Posted by Olivier Lalin-
It might seems that i am getting carried away on this post- This Blog is about photography and Spc Weddings - This is about an ICON of 20 century photo-journalism. Born and raised in N.Y.C, William Klein has lived in Paris for the past 30 years - I was horrified when i heard that Galliano blatently stole Klein's Image Identity a while back !! Just like the Gucci and Prada conterfeit that are being produced in China -

And here the story goes !
PARIS: A Paris judge has ordered ,fashion designer John Galliano to pay American photographer William Klein €200,000 (US$271,000) in damages for copying Klein's work in a recent ad campaign, judicial officials said Thursday.

In his March 28 decision, Judge Claude Vallet said Galliano's advertisements too closely resembled Klein's hallmark "painted contacts" — oversized painted contact sheets streaked with stokes of vivid color.

The five ads — which appeared in March in French Vogue and Elle magazines, as well as several other publications in Britain and Russia — featured three enlarged contact print images of models, highlighted with colored brushstrokes.
Vallet said the ads clearly violated intellectual property laws because Galliano never asked Klein's permission to use the style, which the New York-born photographer developed more than a decade ago. He ordered Galliano, who designs for French luxury house Christian Dior as well as his own label, to pay for the verdict to be published in the magazines in which the ads appeared.

Galliano's lawyer had argued that the ads did not constitute plagiarism because their images did not look like those from Klein's work. Galliano has appealed the decision, in an attempt to lower the fine, judicial sources said.

In an interview in Thursday's Le Monde daily, Klein said he was "hurt" by Galliano's appropriation of his style.
"I am bitter because this glaring plagiarism represents an inexplicable slap in the face to my work," he said.

Portraits of the Bride and Groom

Posted by Olivier Lalin -
I have just created a separate section on my website called PORTRAITS OF KIRA AND JONATHAN - I decided to do so after having met with a potential client in new york who was showing me tearsheet of Vogue magazine saying it was exactly what she wanted for her wedding- Wonderful, this is exactly what i love doing-
So Have a look at weddinglight.com - Indeed, you will find a collection of portraits of the bride and the groom together and separate! Some are more posed than others - they were all great fun to take - Those portraits required an hour and a half to complete - Use of an assistant for the light as well as a medium format camera : Rolleiflex - You decide whether it is worth it ! The alternative would be to just have documentary Style photography for your wedding - And do without those beautiful images -
