"words taken from my blog"

Well this was a pleasant suprise to the end of the month and something I knew nothing about. The Argos (Eastbourne) did an article for Piscari a few days ago but they were so impressed with the restaurant they did a big feature and its actually a really good read. If you have been following my blog you may remember a few weeks ago I mentioned taking pictures for them the first day I started there and these are two of them, not my area of expertise but the restaurant and obviously the paper liked them. It would have been nice to be credited on my first ever photos in a paper but since they were done for the restaurant and not for the paper its not expected. Also its nice because getting pictures in the paper is not really one of my 1000 goals or something im striving for so it really is a nice bonus.

I must also say its been great working there so far, it really does keep me busy on the weeks where I only have one or two shoots and i've met some great people. I took Cayley there on Thursday to eat as a proper customer and the food was just incredible. They are aiming for the first michelin star in Eastbourne which in my oppinion is in reach and I look forward to being a part of helping the team reach that goal.

On another note March is going to be a great month for me photography wise. Ill be shooting in London three times, tomorrow is the Street Photography Challenge, on the 15th is the St Patrick's Day celebrations and I have a big wedding in the capital. I also have quite a few shoots booked from glamour to family so keep following my blog as I document my photography.
 
Must have been a great feeling Luke, I can't wait to get published in some way one day.

Doesn't matter who they are from, they should have credited you.

And you should have been paid. Something like this is even more important (payment wise) than something small like weather pictures becuase it's basically an advertisement for the restaurant.

Congrats though.

The pictures were done a a few weeks back and everything was sorted then. They can print and do whatever they want with them, it would of just been nice to have my name there but its all good. I knew nothing about the article but they interviewed wednesday night and printed friday. If I sell images to a client and she uses them on her website they don't have to have my name on.
 
Well done Luke, I must say some of your photography does stand out to me. Well deserved:clap:

That's why we have rights-managed licences. Selling the benefits is part of the game. Most buyers of copyright material mistakenly believe that they can do what they want with it, once they've paid.

Yeah I spose payment isn't as necessay if you sold the image to your client and then they used them in an advert. Did you give the copyright to your client, or just the right to use them how they want?

Would have been polite and professional of them to ensure you were credited though.

If wanting to check up on your rights re your photos then you may want to, if not already, think of looking at this group and joining;

To be honest I know don't all my rights however I sold them with the intention they can do whatever they want, I didn't really do this business, I have a good relationship with the chef and really want to help the restaurant succeed, thanks for all the pointers and advice though.
 
Great well done. I was featured in the Metro Newspaper in London about a month ago. A few weeks later a tesco express checkout girl recognised me. :D
