Who we are and what we do |
We're an email group for professional editorial photographers who want to talk business. We don't do techie stuff. We don't do cliquey in-crowd gossip. We don't talk cameras or computers. We talk about the nuts and bolts of being in business - like copyright, licensing, fees, insurance. And, even if we say so ourselves, we do it rather well.

- When should you give away pictures to newspapers ?
- Photo postcards and other promotional mailshots,
- The publications that only pay for features on publication, and…
