Backed by Lensbaby

So, the other day I got contacted by Lensbaby as they stumbled upon my post concerning their Trio-28 lens through my rarely used instagram account . To my own enjoyment they were quite pleased by the results of my photos using the lens and their 3 optics and they way I “exploited” the lens to use two optics at once. During our e-mail conversation they made me an “offer I couldn’t refuse”.

While I had plenty of fun utilizing the Trio-28 I decided to return it in the end. So Lensbaby offered me my own Trio-28 lens in exchange for the rights to use some of my photos for marketing purposes. Considering the nature of being an unsplasher I didn’t hesitate long to kindly accept the offering. I can imagine that this is an outcome that is quite attractive for both parties, as it’s not always about money, licensing and usage rights. Without much hassle or a 16 pages long contract about all possible “if’s”, “when’s” and “whatever’s”  it all came down to a simple agreement with my desired way of being credited in terms of copyright.

I have new equipment, Lensbaby has new marketing material and everyone’s happy! At least I can assure that I am, especially after seeing one of my photos on the official Lensbaby Website!
