Blackpool fc may be poor on the pitch but they could afford a few quid for a pic in a news story?
This is what I took

and yes.. thats me taking it ..
I rest my case
Just out of curiosity, how would the paper have gotten hold of the image they used? Would 'buddy' who snapped the shot (likely on his/her phone) submitted it to them? Obviously even knowing that there was a photographer on site? I bet they were well chuffed though, bragging rights of 'I got published! I got published!' Whoever took that photo probably didn't care about getting financial recognition for it, but loved the pat on the back they got from all their mates. Wonder if anyone said to them they should push for getting paid for it...
I work for free sometimes, I do it when I have a lull in my bookings, usually take the opportunity to try something new; a new setup, product, idea... but this is work for me... and as a thank you, I offer the photos to my model (usually do kids, so it's Mum). But I'm no pro, and if it was my main income, I would probably think and do differently.
