Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir (born in 1978) is a photographer from Iceland who was named the "Web's Top Photographer" by the Wall Street Journal on July 29, 2006. [1]
She lived in Gainesville, Florida, USA, from age 4 to age 11. She currently lives in Hafnarfjörður, near Reykjavík, Iceland. Her Flickr images led to her creating and appearing in a Toyota advertising campaign. [2]
Her posted images at Flickr were copyrighted, but then sold by a third party without her consent. "Only Dreemin" sold 60 prints, of seven of her photos, for more than £2,500, without her consent. She protested by putting up a photo at Flickr that named "Only Dreemin" and had text telling of the illegal sale, but Flickr removed it saying users cannot "harass, abuse, impersonate, or intimidate others".
