    Fulham's is terrible but you get food! AFC Wimbledon don't seem to have one & Charlton's I can't get to!

    How I Move to the next level?

    In no way was I showing off, I'm just proud due to my young age, maybe I shouldn't be proud then. Nobody can start off on Day 1 working for Getty etc. so I'm young and doing what I can and plus definitely not here for an argument.

    How I Move to the next level?

    For example the other week I got to go to Cobham, usually a bio access area to photograph a Chelsea vs Charlton friendly. Next Sunday I'm doing the 1st team FA Cup game at AFC Wimbledon. As a massive Charlton fan, this is all I need at the moment!

    How I Move to the next level?

    I'm only 17 for a start and as only 1% of photographers can make a decent living, it's probably not what I'll be doing for a career. I get into matches free, possibly meet players and gain amazing experiences. `for my current situation, its what suits me but definitely wouldn't suit you I...

    Payment from newspapers

    I am now Charlton Athletic U18 Photographer. I am covering CAFC vs DRFC 1st team League One game on 14th October for NewsShopper. Followed by 16th CAFC U23 vs QPR U23 again at the Valley and am soon to become DataCO accredited. At 17 I feel this is a great achievement!

    Hi, I just wanted to update the situation by saying I sorted out all my insurances through PolicyBee (Hiscox) yesterday therefore I am now fully insured for my photography. As it is pre-season time I'm trying to get pitchside for as many games as possible. The game I wanted to cover tonight...
