There is much talk on this forum about charging for pictures. Especially those where newspapers are concerned. Well here's two little stories of things that I've heard or been connected with this week. The first was an acquaintance who had a picture that the Evening Times here in Glasgow was interested in. Basically they said they did not pay for pictures, which we all know to be c...false
. This acquaintance knew that other papers usually do pay and told them so but they insisted and he relented. Poor show from the ET on this score I reckon. :thumbsdown:
The second story is from the same paper. I was at an event where their staffer was taking pictures. My line manager asked him for a copy of the photograph he had just taken. Surprisingly to me he handed over his card and said to contact him by email and he'd get it sorted. I thought he'd have asked for payment but he wasn't concerned by that:shrug: So good on the Evening Times tog for that and if he reads this then THANKYOU.
