Favour if anyone has May's Photography Monthly
Discussion
Graham,
The context is an article related to "Best of British", and is all about "Traditional" (read "a bit strange"
events. Others include Cheese Rolling, Bog Snorkling and the World Gurning Championship.
Your image is credited to both you and the Beltane Fire Society.
If you want to send me your email address, I'll scan the pages for you.
Simon

And what did they pay you?seen an article by somebody frost (lee?) about this.

point is, they do accept submissions and pay you IF they use your photo's to illustrate an article.
didn't work for me but then i dont have a lot of 'practicle photography' type photo's.
Went and bought the magazine today - hmm, see what you mean, it's illustrating an editorial article, so I agree, payment should be made.
But where did the magazine source the picture? Was it with a picture library in which case they would have paid for it, or was it sent in as a speculative readers pic that they kept on file....?
I think you should be told!

Got it, thanks Simon.
I knew it was submitted, but our organiser (Photo team for the Beltane Fire Society) submitted several from about 5 of us so I didn't know if it would be used.
Money was certainly mentioned in the email conversation between me and him but I suspect I would have waived at least half, if not all of it, in favour of the society, I just can't remember the details. We all agreed a long time ago to split any profits from prints between 'tog and society so that we could collectively recoup printing and subsidise lens rental in the future, and possibly help fund exhibitions etc. The whole Beltane thing is very much a voluntary situation from everyone involved, not just the photographers.
So while I agree that payment should definitely be made for use of my image, it could have been made to the Society. I'll need to check.

Well well well...
No payment at all.
Time to draft a stern email and go over some heads.
As I mentioned above, I am more than happy for any cash to go to the group or society as a whole, but I really do believe that "being in print" for nothing can only hurt the industry.
Anyone got any form invoices or owt?

I should mention that my hosting has gone tits up, so if anyone's mailed anything to my profile address, consider it lost.
