Photographers, You Are Not Worth It

This is a tale where the world of hairdressing salons and the world of photography collide. The L'Oréal awards for hairdressing salons have been running for 57 years and now take place in 35 countries around the world. We received a note from a photographer concerning the L'Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy UK (& ROI) Awards 2012 and decided to look into the rights grabbing issues raised in his note.

Art of Photography Show - by Artists for Artists

Artists' Bill of Rights and The Art of Photography Show got talking recently and recognised that we were kindred spirits, each passionate about promoting artists, their work, and their rights. In the last four years our campaign has brought us into contact with a lot of great organisations and people, and in this latest instance, Steven Churchill, Producer of the Art of Photography Show.

Photographer Judge Resigns from 'Contest'

On 19th December we published a story about Random House Group, the largest general interest trade publisher in the world. They want photographers to supply, for free, a cover photograph for a new edition of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist story. Random House presented the 'work for free' project as a 'competition' entitled "shoot a cover for a new Vintage edition of Oliver Twist". However, it is a competition with no prize for the winner, nor any payment for work done, nor any royalties for the use of the winners work, the winner also has to waive their moral rights. Three judges were originally listed for this contest, now only two are listed.
