The curious case of Hera Bell

Hera Bell is a Montreal photographer. Recently a Finnish photographer noticed that a photo he claims is his was also cited by Ms. Bell as hers. Upon investigation, it seems there are multiple photos that are claimed by Ms. Bell but which also appear elsewhere. So this begs the question, who owns these photos. This blog will show the photos in question so people can see the issue clearly and open the larger discussion of photo ownership in the digital age.
