Really great that you've decided to join Leon, I think we all could learn a lot from you
Is it mainly AFP that you work for?

Blimey, don't give me too much credit! 
Feel free to ask whatever you want and, if I can, I'll answer!

Good to see you on here Leon. Must admit I am incredibly jealous of you and Adrian for Vancouver...left me doing two boring football games back here (Reading v WBA and Birmingham v Wolves)! Better than nothing though!
Must admit, I'd love to get onto the team for London 2012 though, by then I could have done enough for AFP for it to happen!

@James hehe I'm sure it'll be all hands on deck come 2012. I know most of us would rather book a holiday for that month!
@Rovers_Andy Yeah, go for it. It's a great bit of kit and seems to handle whatever I throw at it. Any questions, drop me a line through here or via my site.
I'm actually going away again this evening but should still be able to get my mail while I'm not in the UK. If not, I'll answer when I return!

Yes, well those of us who are still Olympic "virgins" wouldn't mind doing it!
Even if it is the 20hr days that are spoken about in press rooms up and down the country.

That's not quite true. There are many Getty photographers, particuarily in the USA, who use Nikon.

Ah, I only know the UK Getty photographers and they're all on Canon exclusively.

Amazing stuff.
This may be a bit naive of me, but how would you go about getting into this area of photography?

For me, I studied NCTJ photojournalism at the Sheffield College before managing to win a temporary contract at The Times through their Times/Tabasco Young Photographer program (hence my username..)
A more surefire way would be to approach your local paper and work up from there!

Not wishing to correct you again, but that's not true. A number of Getty UK photographers are on Nikon

Thanks for that. I'll get in touch with the local papers then. I've already done a few things for the uni paper but as far as I know the circulation of it is quite small.

How bizarre. All of the sports guys and news guys in London are on Canon. I presume you're talking about staff photographers and not freelance and stringers?

No problem. The news industry is going through a hell of a tough time at the moment so my advice to photographers starting out has had to change a little in recent years. I used to tell people that anyone with a good portfolio and an approachable manner will be abe to find work somewhere but with the current rounds of job cuts and newspaper staff pruning, it's getting harder and harder. There is certainy still a demand for photographers but it's nowhere near what it used to be. In my opinion, agencies are currently the best bet once you've got your portfolio together as the papers that are laying off staff 'togs still need to get their images from somewhere and the agencies are enjoying a boost from this change in operating method. Good luck!

There are a number of sports guys on Nikon and some of the entertainment guys. News (who I don't really deal with very often) are all on Canon as far as I am aware.
