My thoughts exactly, thank you Mike. I have already written this one off and as I said it was so very last minute that I just sent the pic to ensure it was printed.

Can anybody show me an example of what they usually send along with there pictures. (some kind of invoice?)

Thanks again for all your thoughts
Paul

Thanks for your advice guys. Basically I was asked to take a shot of the band as I have a good relationship with them and they like what I do.

Everything was last minute, I had to shoot them 10pm one night and they needed the image 9am the next morning.

All I did was send a link to the writer of the article but I didn't say any terms etc

He said they couldn't credit me as they only credited staff and everything else was deemed as PR.

I hope this doesn't apply to being payed... :/

Thanks Again
Paul

So a picture I took of a band was used in last Fridays Manchester Evening News. It was quite a big picture taking up half of the full page feature.

Anyway I am very new to this and although I understand that I have the copyright and therefore the right to be paid, I wasn't paid or even credited.

I e-mailed the picture to the writer of the article but he didn't even get back to me to say thanks let alone offering any payment.

I don't really know where I stand or even where I'd to start.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Paul
