Some people have a real cheek

A certain Premier League club asked the agency i shoot for if we had any images to two players that are on loan at Preston.

They wanted the images for the club website and matchday programs but weren't prepared to pay for the images. but they would credit myself and the agency on the images.


Told them if they make a donation to the Haiti Appeal, after all they're heavily linked with Unicef etc then we would allow usage of the images.

It wasn't Portsmouth was it!! they dont have any money!!!

Good stance on that one mate, and a good cause if they do make a donation

hmmm... Preston... Fergie... UNICEF..... ?!??!

good for you.. suppose they think the mere mortals will just bow down to any requests from anything with a Premier League tag hanging off it

 

[whitewash]

they;re doing you a favour though!

I just hope they don't promise to make a donation but don't actually make it.

How exactly would giving images for free to the biggest club in the world be "doing me a favour"

I have nothing to gain from it.


they used someone elses images in the end

oh and the images are only available in the subscription part of the website

Chances are it wont be the biggest club in the world running the website..they will have farmed it all out to a web dev company and its them after freebies and they will know full well as said above that all they need to do is keep asking for freebies until someone says yes..

womens footy, low down none league footy.. i give them pics free for web and program use because there really is no money at those levels and I am happy to support.. I went to everton/leeds womens footy last night.. I paid my 3 quid to get in.. I could have said press....
