Sunderland Wall Art is launched

[ABERS]

I do know that Abers site had a visit from Professional Photographer Magazine a short while ago - because I pointed them there  They were after a picture of a face that told a story or 'carried the story in their face' & let's be honest, if you can't find one of these in Abers collection, well you might as well give up. And that was pretty much what they said!

I've got you to thank for that Andrew,  they were a bit reticent about who tipped them off.

They seemed keen on one picture and the story behind it so I furnished them with both. Whether they use it or not is a matter of time, but it's looking hopeful!

In true magazine style they asked for a hi-res copy of the image, but knowing how they bleat about tight budgets etc. First I asked where I should send the invoice and how much for. We settled on a measly amount which I have in writing.

It's enough for a pie and a pint when we next meet! 


Thanks very much mate.

DD if you want an agent, Andrew's your man.

Alan, you're more than welcome - glad something came out of it for you.
Oddly enough, they put the call out via Twitter for those sorts of shots, and i've noticed they do that quite a bit of late. So maybe Twitter does have a sensible use after all.

They've come back for the August issue, but in true style they've forgotten the payment agreement which I have now reminded them of. No payment, no picture for their magazine. Picture editors think that amateur photographers are so keen to get their work into print that they are easy prey to making their budget stretch a long way.

Admittedly its nice to see your work in print, but I learned long ago that you will soon become a source of free material if you fall for their flattery, if they want your work enough they will pay.
