Editorial Photographers UK | Visual plagiarism: when does inspiration become imitation ? (page 1 of 2)

Excellent article.
Editorial Photographers UK | Visual plagiarism: when does inspiration become imitation ? (page 1 of 2):

But one phone call, from father-and-son team Horst and Daniel Zielske stuck in his mind for the specific detail they asked for, including the type of film, exposures and vantage points used.

“I wasn’t very suspicious [until] they were asking me specifically about this one photograph of the Nanpu Bridge. At that point I stopped the conversation and said ‘You have to find something out for yourself.’ “"
