I stumbled across this on another forum and thought it'd make for some good reading for the UK Photographers here at dA. Definitely worth a read, and it is on two pages so can be printed and carried around too: UK Photographers Rights

Completed Work
The Kukri Sportsware Dance Troop. I ended up shooting 15 of the dance troop in two differnet outfits each. Where I thought I would end up with one, maybe two shots a girl, I ended up with 4 poses in one outfit and a further two poses in another! That's a total of around 95 shots!!! Yikes!!! I need to start charging by the picture I think as currently I do it all per hour for photography, and per hour for post-processing ... which, you know, isn't that bad really We have agreed to share the rights to the photos too, so a good few of them will make their way up on to here pretty soon.


Heh, the whole thing was somewhat rushed through in just over an hour (not the way to do it, I know, not fully under my control, but that's what ended up happening, even though I had booked the Studio for a good four hour session). I was mildly hung-over thanks to a freakin' cool evening in London the night before, but by the time the shoot came round I felt somewhat better. Nothing like looking at 15 gorgeous ladies to brighten your morning up

Direct quote from the client:

I've been working on the post-processing for a while now and have learnt a few new things about RAW and the RAW editor in Bridge - can't wait to get my hands on the new Lightroom v2 when it comes out properly! May even be able to skip most of my final PS touch up work using that ... who knows!?!

The family shoot with my fellow photographer ~MrErf went very well too, and a few of my candids made it to the final contact sheet for the client(s) to choose from - superb!

Confirmed Work
Sunrise Celebration Festival 6 days on-site, access all areas with a press pass! Dragging ~palegothicangel along for the ride too - should be a great experience!

Promo product shoot for a friend and her cohorts at University who are entering a design and product they have for a competition in the US of A. Half the shoot already done, new product and modelling shoots still to be done (a freebie, as they are students, and one a friend).

Yet to be Scheduled Work
A catalog shoot for a medical uniform making company. A 60 page catalog (from the last I heard) with an estimated 30-60 photogrpahs of models, garments, accessories etc. A pretty damn large undertaking as there will be a mass of post-processing work to d too ...

Other Fun Stuff
Many portrait and promotional materials for performers including, a dancer and a contact juggler, along with any "spinners" I can catch working their Poi

Other personal projects and a few freebies for friends - because you have to

More nude shoot with some of the models I have worked with so far (and maybe some new ones!)
