\n The original image, captured in 2009 by Hengki Koentjoro, who sent it for publication by AP today to highlight the case <\/em>
\n <\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

Hengki Koentjoro, a fine-art photographer from Indonesia, says his image was digitally manipulated and flipped horizontally<\/a> when entered into Samsung’s \u2018Live in the moment’ competition, which is giving away an NX300 camera to four category winners.<\/p>\n

The controversial image had seemingly been entered by an Instagram member<\/a> using the online name \u2018bogdhan’, who has since been attacked in comments made by other users of the image-sharing website.<\/p>\n

\n <\/img>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n The image as it appears on the page of an Instagram user who has been accused of breaching Koentjoro’s copyright <\/em>
\n <\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

The photo was submitted to the \u2018MyCommute’ section of the contest earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

Koentjoro, whose work was featured in Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) last year, says he was only made aware of copyright theft following a tip-off<\/a> from a friend weeks later.<\/p>\n

Speaking yesterday, Koentjoro called for more education about photographic copyright among the general public.<\/p>\n

He told AP: \u2018Let’s warn other photographers to be careful with their work.’ <\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the Instagram user in question could not be reached for a response following a request sent by AP via the comments section of his online account.<\/p>\n

Koentjoro said future competition organisers should demand to see raw-format image files when judging entries.<\/p>\n

Rules for the competition, which was launched by Samsung’s base in South Korea, allowed entrants to submit photos via Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n

Koentjoro has since received a statement from Samsung which read: \u2018Thank you for alerting us in regard to this issue. We take copyright infringement very seriously and it is very unfortunate that [the] present case has taken place.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have disqualified the applicant of this picture, and he is no longer the winner of the contest – neither will he receive the prize.<\/p>\n

\u2018Further, we have taken down the announcement from all our channels.’<\/p>\n

Samsung has not made any further comment on the issue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
