A New York photographer claims that DKNY is using hundreds of his photos in international store displays without his permission. Brandon Stanton, creator of the Humans of New York photo project, says DKNY offered him $15,000 to use 300 of his photos in store windows around the world. He says he asked for more money, but the brand declined. "Today, a fan sent me a photo from a DKNY store in Bangkok," Stanton writes in a blog post and on the Humans of New York Facebook page.
