Definately out of business - can't find a buyer and offering 50% discount on remaining stock until Thursday 18th June. Which is a pain - as i've been using their albums for a couple of years. Can anyone recommend a similar supplier - i used their Elizabethan range - in particular Roma which was...

I use Lightbox Photo Gallery http://www.lightboxphoto.com/ - it's not free but is really easy to set up, the supports good and you can customise most of it to fit into your site (CSS skills required). I'd also advise against a solution that sends the prints straight to the customer without you...

Perhaps a bit beyond the scope of a guide, but I'd like to see an analysis of how HDR is effecting commercial photography. Where it's been used the most, key photographers internationally, great sites to visit etc.

Also, don't forget clients have long memories. If you are the guy they remember giving 'free photography' or however you word it now in 2008 - when they come back in 2 years time they will want the same deal. Not great if you plan to be in the photography business a long-time. I'd have a...

Are they going to ban 'guide books' as well, just in case someone looks down at their book, trips and then falls? Absolutely crazy!

Another vote of praise. I really like it - the sense of movement and scale of the animal is captured in the crop. Excellent.

No proof, but another story of testing them for some business letterhead printing - not great - and then they tried to start charging me on a monthly basis for something I didn't want or need.

I have it my diary and am planning to go along.

It is now very easy, cheap and you don't necessarily need a solicitor to take action over non-payers - you can start a small claims action on the net; https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp

I've just received a test from XXXL Pix people in Berlin and it is really good and a great price - I got a 48" x 32" and it was £35 plus £13 postage - some special deal for photographers at the moment. I'll definately use them in the future.

Great cover photo - but am intrigued to know who 'Daisy Dick' is?

As far as I can gather from this thread the only way they won't pay up is either they go bankrupt (has happened to companies that have owed me money me twice) or they let a judgment go against them (very unlikely due to points explained well above). All the best - it's an area of the business...

Absolutely wicked stuff Pete - brilliant news.

The man mentioned in the opening post - James Purkiss - is really giving photographers a bad name - recently he was found guilty of assulting Heather Mills; http://www.epuk.org/News/663/photographer-sentenced-for-mills-mccartney-assaults Personally, I think the answer is yes - you can stay...
