When TTG-ready providers have problems

with the submitted name or UOI:

  • If the TTG-RP has any objections, of any kind, to the name or the UOI being used to back up the TTG label...

    . . . the TTG-RP has the right to tell the submitting photographer that the TTG-RP will not publish the photograph with the submitted name or UOI (and thus will not publish it with the TTG label).

  • The photographer can then choose between:

    1. changing the name/UOI to something that the TTG-RP finds acceptable; or

    2. consenting to publication of the photograph without the TTG label and without the photographer’s name/UOI (should that solution be acceptable to the TTG-RP); or

    3. choosing to not have the photograph published at all.

  • Examples of problematic names or UOIs

    • Any name or UOI that might lead viewers to infer that the photograph was made by a different photographer (famous or otherwise) — or by a different entity — than the photographer who is responsible for the photograph

    • Any name or UOI that contains words or phrases that the TTG-RP deems offensive, inappropriate, confusing, misleading, deceptive, or overtly political
