The escalation path
Three letters, each one firmer.
Most infringers back down after the first letter. Escalate only if they ignore you, each letter is dated and kept, building the record a court will want to see if it ever goes further.

RE: Unauthorised use of my original product photos
Dear Sir or Madam, I am the owner of my original product photos. It has come to my attention that [Recipient Name] is using it without my permission: I have neither licensed nor consented to that use. I ask that you immediately cease and desist all use of my original product photos, remove it from every website, listing and marketing channel under your control, and confirm to me in writing, within 14 days of the date of this letter, that you have done so. This letter is sent in good faith and without prejudice to my rights and remedies, all of which are expressly reserved. I would much rather resolve this quickly and amicably, and I hope your prompt cooperation makes any further step unnecessary.

RE: Unauthorised use of my original product photos, second notice
Dear Sir or Madam, I wrote to you recently about [Recipient Name]'s unauthorised use of my original product photos, asking you to stop and to confirm that you had done so. To date I have had no reply, and the material appears to remain in use. I am writing once more in the hope of settling this without escalation. Please treat this as a second and final reminder: remove my original product photos from every channel under your control and confirm in writing within 7 days of the date of this letter. My rights and remedies remain fully reserved.

RE: FINAL NOTICE: my original product photos
Dear Sir or Madam, This is a final notice before I take further action. Despite my earlier letters, [Recipient Name] has continued to use my original product photos without authorisation. You have been given a fair opportunity to put this right and have not taken it. Unless you cease all use of my original product photos and confirm in writing within 7 days of the date of this letter, I intend to pursue the remedies available to me, which may include formal proceedings, without further notice. I will rely on this correspondence, and the dates on which each letter was sent, in support of any such step. This letter is sent without prejudice save as to costs. All of my rights are reserved.
Most disputes end here. If they take my original product photos down and confirm it, you keep these letters as your record and the matter is closed. If they don't, your dated letters are exactly what a solicitor, or a court, will ask to see first. GitLaw keeps every version, timestamped, so you're ready for whatever comes next.

Often, yes. A clear, legally grounded letter shows you know your rights and are prepared to enforce them, most recipients comply rather than risk takedowns, platform bans or court. But a letter is leverage, not a court order: if they ignore it, escalation is the next step.
