As I boarded my flight in Vancouver yesterday I happily came across the HSBC advertisement with my image from Recife, Brazil. Take a look below.

This was one of three shoots that I completed in northeastern Brazil back in 2009 working with Art Director Tobias Prasse. I got to keep one of the Brazilian soccer uniforms which still gets a big thumbs up from all of my Brazilian friends on the rare occasion when I wear it around LA.

The continued usage on these images is an important lesson for young photographers that you need to always maintain the copyright to your photographs and that you need to work with reputable agencies that respect your rights as a professional.
