Editorial Photographers UK - Campaigning for photographers since 1999

What is EPUK ?

EPUK is an email group for professional editorial photographers who want to talk business. We don't do techie stuff or in-crowd gossip. We don't talk cameras or computers. What we talk about are the nuts and bolts of being in business - like copyright, licensing, fees and insurance.

EPUK Weekly News

Once a week we put together a roundup of the week's photography, media and copyright news. It's free and you don't have to meet the usual EPUK membership criteria to sign up. We don't give your details to anyone else, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

This week EPUK discussed ...

Why the 2010 Press Photographers Yearbook is so good; being promoted without consent on List Photographers; charging for payments made by cheque
… and …
the logistics of taking group shots of hundreds of people.
