How Many Friends on Facebook?

Samantha Levy is an incredible, powerful woman of God. Her personal connection with over 5,000 people all over the world as caused Facebook to move her to "public figure" status. I have been her photographer for over 5 years now and there is never a boring moment with her.

This time our mutual event was a missions trip to Dominican Republic. I try to never miss an opportunity to update her speaker/FB images as a public figure. Every event coordinator asks for a suitable image for advertising purposes. As a former model, Samantha has no trouble looking good for the camera and I love to create what I consider to be iconic images of her.

The trouble is Facebook does a horrible job of giving a photography artist like myself appropriate credit. Their website is basically public domain. No matter how I try, the image gets quickly separated from its creator. 440 likes and 83 comments later, no one even knows I am the photographer. Frustrating. Good thing I trust my God to promote me.


Still, I love creating fabulous images of this woman.
