This amused me...

Pro Photographer Looking for People to Do Their Job Without Pay


I've had a few people ask to use pictures I've posted to Flickr, for things ranging from Lundy lighthouse to climbing shots at Stanage and tell them they have to pay (one exception was someone who wanted to use a picture of an otter at The Chestnut Centre for a pamphlet on otter husbandry they were writing).  Also told my employers, who asked me to take pictures at some uninteresting event because they know I have an (entry-level) SLR and like photography, that they would have to pay me.  Strangely they found someone else.

what you want money for taking photos, dont be silly. the times ive been asked to shoot for free is stupid. its digital, so it doesnt cost you anything. to true, my degree didnt cost me 20 grand, my 7 grands worth of equipment was free and the 14 years of taking photos doesnt could for anything either.

I lent my DSLR to the wife this weekend. After literally two minutes instruction she came back having successfully shot a magazine cover. I suspect the low end of professional photography will be pretty much teaching others in a few years.

Not really worth starting a new thread, but Getty have made "their" pictures free to use
