== Temple Church ==
Dear David,
I am publishing an article on Temple Church for which I would like to use your photograph of the chancel facing the nave: [[:File:Temple Church 3, London, UK - Diliff.jpg]]. The journal that I am publishing in, Immediations (The Courtauld's non-profit journal that publishes research of recent graduates and early career scholars), has asked me if I could ask you to sign an image permissions form. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with this. If you are happy to sign in the (very brief!) form, I can send you the form via email. Please let me know if you require any additional information. Thank you! [[User:SophiaDum|SophiaDum]] ([[User talk:SophiaDum|talk]]) 09:31, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
== Trafalgar Square Tree ==
Dear David
We used an image of the Trafalgar Square Tree under a Creative Commons licence but inadvertently did not provide the correct attribution. We apologise for this oversight. However, we have now received an email from Pixy with an extremely large retroactive licensing fee for an image used on a web page which is now archived. We are a small publishing and events company doing our best to recover from the devastating impact of covid on our business. We are willing to include the correct attribution but would request some flexibility in the licence fee. Could you also confirm that Pixy is acting on your behalf and that this is not a spam or phishing email?

== Featured picture scheduled for POTD ==
Hi Diliff,
This is to let you know that [[:File:Ely Cathedral Lady Chapel, Cambridgeshire, UK - Diliff.jpg]], a [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures|featured picture]] you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Picture of the day|picture of the day]] (POTD) for January 20, 2024.

== London_Thames_Sunset_panorama_ _Feb_2008 ==
Dear David,
We used an image of the London_Thames_Sunset_panorama_ _Feb_2008 for a brief period on our LinkedIn page as a banner, but inadvertently did not provide the correct attribution. We apologise for this oversight. I was not aware that the image is licensed to you and as soon as we became aware, we immediately removed the image.
However, we have received an email from Pixy with an extremely large retroactive licensing fee for an image used on a web page which is now archived. We are a small advisory company who gets less than 100 visits per year on our LinkedIn page.
Could you please first confirm that Pixy is acting on your behalf and that this is not a spam or phishing email? Pixsy have been unwilling to provide any evidence that they are acting for you in spite of repeated requests. No contracts with you have been shared and that leads me to believe that Pixsy are making a fraudulent claim using your name.
The case reference that Pixsy has quoted is 002-203834.

== Hereford Cathedral Image ==
Dear Mr Lliff,
I have recieved a letter from a company demanding quite a substanial amount of money for using your image and not displaying your information clearly. In asking the company for more details they tend to respond with quite abrubt unhelpful information. It has meant we have removed the image from our website, which is a shame as it is a stunning image but the last thing we want to do is use an image without permission. As a small company we rely on artists like yourself who are kind enough to allow people to use their images and we are very careful to check licenses to make sure we are using them correctly and would of course correct anything if contacted.
Would you be able to confirm if the company contacting us are indeed legitimate as the correspondence does come across a lot like spam. If you do not have any notification of this case and a company acting on your behalf, I would happily open up a discussion about putting the image back on our website in a way which would be of agreement to you.
I am sorry to bother you with this and appreciate your time.
Yours sincerely

== Westminster Cathedral image ==
Good morning David,
I hope you're well. My name is Mark Brierley, I am the Head of Membership and Communications for The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain. We are a charity which helps musicians unable to work because of accident, illness, stress or anxiety, by providing grants for medical treatments.
We have been contacted by the company Pixsy with a copyright claim, regarding the use of your wonderful photograph of Westminster Cathedral at dusk (<nowiki>https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westminster_Cathedral_at_Dusk,_London,_UK_-_Diliff.jpg</nowiki>), which we recently used to accompany a news article about the Festival of St Cecilia.
As far as I can tell, the image is subject to a creative commons license and no fees should be due, but Pixsy are asking for an exorbitant license fee so we have removed the article from our website (www.rsmgb.org)
We are a small charity that can ill-afford this fee, so we would ask if there is anything that can be done by you to waive the fee, please? As an organisation that is here to protect people that work in the creative industries, we absolutely recognise the need for artists to be fairly compensated for their work, so if you could please clarify whether or not you expect licensing fees from this image, and that Pixsy are acting on your behalf, that would be great help.
Many Thanks,
Mark Brierley [[User:Mook200|Mook200]] ([[User talk:Mook200|talk]]) 10:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
== St Albans Cathedral image ==
Dear David,
We used your image of St Alban’s Cathedral to advertise a small pilgrimage there last September and the image remained on our news feed.
We understand that this image is free to use but we failed to display the correct attribution for which we offer our apologies.
This error was pointed out by a company called Pixy who are asking for payment of a licence fee of £450. We are a small charity – a local church – and can ill afford such an unusual expense. Can you confirm that this is not a scam? Initially the company gave an address in East Finchley, London, and then they amended it to the US. Are they genuinely acting for you?
Yours,
Philip [[User:MaryFinchley|MaryFinchley]] ([[User talk:MaryFinchley|talk]]) 20:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

== 360 degree image of the Piccadilly Arcade taken in June 2009. ==
Dear David,
I would like to use your photograph of the Piccadilly Arcade for a small book I am writing on my Aunt, Margaret Hermione Mackenzie.
She managed an outlet in the Arcade in the late 50s and early 60s selling scottish tartans, cashmere jerseys and scottish silver.
I would like to give the reader a feel of what the Piccadilly Arcade looked looks like. From what I see I do not think the overall
appearance has changed much since she the period 1950/60.
Under the photograph would appear the words Photo by DAVID ILIFF. License: CC BY-SA 3.0
Please let me know if this is possible?
Kind regards,
Mark [[Special:Contributions/91.89.169.177|91.89.169.177]] ([[User talk:91.89.169.177|talk]]) 12:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

== Lord Mayor of London - John Stuttard ==
Hello David,
Can you confirm whether the company Fossick Pictures have acted on your behalf to request payment for use of your photographs?
We included your image on our webpage https://waxantiques.com/visit-historic-london/ which is an informative description of the history of silver making in London since medieval times. The image has now been removed due to the threatening letter we've received but we'd like to reinstate it with a license/attribution to you.
In addition, do you have any views of the Tower of London?
Many thanks [[User:Landawax|Landawax]] ([[User talk:Landawax|talk]]) 13:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
== Image copyright - Can we fix this ? ==
Hello David,
On September 11, 2024 we received an email from the company Pixsy saying they are acting upon your behalf to request payment ($900) for use of two of your photographs. Curious if you requested them to carry out a search or if they are just trolling for business.
We have been trying to contact you but have not received a response.
Anyway, we would like to rectify our error.
We included two of your fabulous images, the Strasbourg Cathedral Exterior & its Astronomical Clock, on our webpage to illustrate the beauty and interesting history of the Strasbourg Cathedral.
We have removed these images from our web page due to the threatening letter we've received from Pixsy but we'd like to reinstate them with a proper license/attribution to you.
I'm sorry that I didn't notice this requirement at the time and I will be diligent in providing attribution to photos used in the future.
Many thanks

== Combining photographs ==
Hi David, just a quick editing question. Some of your photographs have so much detail I was wondering if you ever stitch them together from separate more close-up images. This is something I've been doing with stained glass windows on libreoffice draw and it works rather well, but was wondering if it might work for nave shots as well. Thanks for your time, [[User:NateBergin|NateBergin]] ([[User talk:NateBergin|talk]]) 18:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
== Your AMAZING panoramas - What equipment did you use (for example Prague 2010) ==
Hello @[[User:Diliff|Diliff]],
I am from Switzerland and since years I use your absolutely amazing Prague panoramas as wallpapers for my 3 Monitor setups at work and at home.
Your panoramas are the absolute best on the WWW. Period.
There is no competition. Amazing work!
Thinking about beginning with photographing as a hobby.
Dumb question. What kind of equipment have you used to take for example the Prague panorama shot?
I have no idea yet, but want to know what ballpark of equipment and cost this is (of course the skill is the hardest in that game). But that I get a rough idea.
It would be so amazing, if you could answer me.
Best regards from foggy Zurich, Switzerland [[User:EternalBudapest|EternalBudapest]] ([[User talk:EternalBudapest|talk]]) 09:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
