About written articles
I am a member of The International Travel
Writers Alliance.
First and foremost, I am a photographer. I
therefore write only in situations where I
believe it is appropriate to add value to my
photography.
My images are sold on the basis of Rights
Managed licensing. I do not sell images on a
Royalty Free basis as a properly negotiated
license gives better value to both the buyer
and me.
The articles that I write are sold on condition
that they are used with my images.
I am not a member of any journalists unions
but I am a member of the International Travel
Writers Alliance, and have had a great deal of
experience in writing articles and technical
documents / manuals. As indicated, I
generally write where I feel it is appropriate to
add value to my images, but also accept
writing assignments.
I am a Professional, and I have specific
goals in maintaining standards of Quality.
When I write, I do so with this in mind. I do
not simple throw words into a package of
images.
Therefore I expect to be paid competitive
rates for both my photographic work and my
written work.
I work with some charities and will
sometimes donate my time to assist those
that I feel will benefit from what I do. I do not
treat commercial ventures as charitable
organisations and expect such organisations
to treat me in the same way.
