I moved to South Africa in september 2004 to work here as a journalist. I never left. At the moment I am working for various publications in and outside of South Africa (both text and photographs). Please please PLEASE: If you intend to use some of my pictures - PLEASE ask first.
But first bare n mind the following: we freelancers need to earn a living. As much as I would like to - I simply cannot give away my photographs for free. Firstly, I need to make a living. A credit is great - and it goes without saying that we are credited for our work - but in the end of the day being mentioned does not pay the bills.
Secondly, by giving my images away for a credit only, I am contributing to spoiling the market for myself and other photographers out there.
The more of us are giving away work for free, the less publishing houses and other players in the media will be willing to pay for images in the future. Why would they, as they can get them for free? This means that in the end, I am shooting myself and others in the foot.
