Nice one mate

Nice one! Im sure one day you will get paid for your photos

Hopefully!!! Thank you!!

Stick an invoice in. Locals pay around £35 for a pic of that size and quality. Nationals pay between £100 and £150 'on order' whether
they use the pics or not but if a paper uses a pic and they haven't ordered it, invoice them according to usage, size and distribution.

The guaranteed way of getting paid is to use a picture agency who sell into the papers. They will do a deal based on an agreed percentage
and will be the second source of images for any given newspaper after their staff photographer. The downside to pic agencies is it's very
competitive and can be quite demanding, time vs. reward + disappointment but when it pays it pays well.

It's not unheard of to be on a job for 3 papers in one day and when you get a sales sheet at the end of a month there can be some nice surprises

Thanks for that bit of info, didnt know I could get paid so handsomly!!

Who is this Matt Syle and why is he stealing credit for your work?!

Congrats though Matt
