i know jake, he's genuine so dont be worried its someone trying to rip you off.
but at the same time (i'm sure he wont mind me saying this, and i'm going to point him this way anyway when i see him online) he isnt LAT or Getty, so dont get overly excited. But at the same time he knows a good photographer when he sees one, so well done.
oh and his website is off line as its having a makeover

Congrats Matt can only echo whats already been said, keep copyright of your own work and don't sign anything! At least in the early days. He doesn't seem like much of an agency, just a one man operation? 
Still its a step in the right direction!

Congratulations Matt...
I posted one of my pics on another forum the other week and received a PM from a very good photographer on there suggesting that I should give photography a rest for a couple of weeks, and then give it up completley.

That's great news Matt - well done you. If I was Russell, I'd be asking for a cut as your supplier
Joking aside, nice one
I would do, but Matt can't afford my consultancy rate.

Good to see you on the up Matt. Can only repeat what others have said about treading carefully etc. The chap in question seems genuine enough, just keep a good eye on the T&C's. Most of all, enjoy the ride, IF you make a little money from it, then cool, if not, the exposure cant be a bad thing.

Well done. As a newcomer to this forum, and having seen lots of your motorsport pics, I was amazed to discover how young you are (and how good your are)!!
I hope everything works out for you - don't forget to keep us posted even when you're rich and famous!!

Nothing like a bit of positive support is there...?

Jake is a top guy, not sure what the long-term plan is but I know he puts a lot of effort into 'making it' in motorsport photography (that guy knows how to get a press pass!), so there is no reason why this can't build into a proper venture. Whatever happens though, he certainly isn't going to rip you off or anything like that.
Just make sure it is what you want, though. I know that sounds like an odd thing to say, but shooting for fun is a lot different to shooting because you need/have to. I've only been doing this for two seasons as well, and have had several opportunities but decided not to pursue it, in a strange way I love motorsport photography too much (it's my 'escape' from my 9-5) and I'm not keen on turning into a job, if that makes any sense.

Can I offer some caution here, haha!
I'm just trying to build a base of a few decent photographers to start a small agency because the closed circle of photographers is a hard one to break into.
I have a few useful contacts, and I want to use them to help others because I've been helped by them.
I'm not out to ****** anyone over, or steal copyright or anything. Remember, Matt is still too young to get accredited
Of course, my agency is small; it was 2 (my father was involved, but simply hasn't the time anymore) so yes, at the moment a) my site is down (and with a dodgy logo, not my fault) and b) it is making very little money.
We all have to start somewhere.

I got my first warning today for posting to many pictures. why cant they put a limit on them like TP?? If you try to post more then ten on TP then yyou get a warning saying you posted to many. However at TT you dont get that :shrug:
