Copyright, privacy and AI-assisted image editing

1. Copyright & Ownership

All photographs published on tomharder.com are my own original work, captured by me during performances, events, reenactments, nature photography and other photographic activities.

All images are protected by applicable copyright laws. They may not be copied, downloaded, reproduced, distributed, modified or used for commercial purposes without my prior written permission.

If you are interested in using any of my photographs, please contact me to discuss the possibilities.

2. Privacy & Photo Removal Requests

All photographs are published with care and respect for the people and moments they portray.

However, I understand that not everyone may wish to appear on this website, whether in an individual photograph or as part of a group or event.

If you appear in a photograph on this website and would prefer it not to be published, please contact me. I will review your request and, where appropriate, remove the photograph or take other suitable action within a reasonable period of time.

To help me identify the image, please include the webpage address or a link to the photograph and, if possible, a brief description of the image.

You do not need to explain your reasons for making a request. All requests will be handled with care, respect and consideration.

3. AI-Assisted Photography & Image Editing

All photographs published on tomharder.com originate from images captured by me.

As part of my photographic workflow, I sometimes use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance and refine my photographs.

AI-assisted editing may be used for adjustments such as noise reduction, sharpening, image enhancement, exposure correction, removing distractions and improving overall image quality.

These tools help me bring out the best in my photographs while preserving the original atmosphere, character and intention of the captured moment.

AI is used as a creative and technical aid, not as a replacement for photography. The original photographs, creative vision and final artistic decisions remain my own.

I believe in being transparent about the use of these technologies and in maintaining the authenticity and integrity of my photographic work.
