<p>Precisely. I mentioned the 5 years for exactly that reason. 5 years of promotional period should be quite a lot, if he's a good and progressing photographer. In fact the pictures are still featured as one of the main ones.<br> It's true that I have only contacted him via email. That was how we used to contact with no problem. I will try to call him next. However, his studio is not in the same state so finding him in person will be much harder.</p>

<p>I understand. I do think that it's not about legality, but sensibility of the photographer here. The fact that my institution was included in his online promotional material is highly insensitive to start with. <br> I would like a dialog with the photographer, but it looks like he's avoiding having any. Do you have any suggestions here?</p>

<p>Hi,<br> I hired a professional photographer for my wedding over 5 years ago. I'm aware that my pictures have been on his website in the last couple of years. Some of the pictures made me uncomfortable since they would not be the ones I choose to even show my friends. However I did not say anything. But now, with my new profession, I need to take much greater care of my online personal image and would like all pictures of mine online to be removed. The photographer description of those pictures includes my past institution (which is not the case with his other clients) and is highly searchable. I contacted the photographer twice to ask nicely but he intentionally ignored my emails. <br> I'm aware that there is this clause as part of the contract, which may be in his favor: "Use by The Photographer(s): The parties agree that The Photographer(s) may reproduce, publish, exhibit and otherwise use the images created hereunder as samples of The Photographer(s)' work to be shown to prospective clients, for instructional purposes during lectures and educational seminars taught by The Photographer(s) and for generic institutional purposes, including use in conjunction with televised or published interviews."</p> However, since it has been over 5 years and my circumstances have changed, and I'm still the main subject of those pictures, I do believe I can ask him to remove the pictures. Please advise me on whether this is the case, and if so, I can go about pursuing this endeavor to get the pictures removed. Thank you. <p> </p>
