Hello again
And a thousand thanks to the supportive replies. On reflection my day rate was acceptable for the amount of experience I have. And the situation of 'accepting what you can get' did kick in at the time, though hopefully as I gain confidence I can haggle for a better 'contract'.
With regards the photos, I have to say the money side isn't my issue, I don't know why I mentioned it, its the recognition for work done and then being able to add it to my portfolio/CV. Some of the pics were pretty good if I say so myself. And as there was no contract, the rights of usage etc was never raised. It was because they were used in a talk that I was dumbfounded to see all my photos projected in front of an audience without a mention of my ever existing,
So definitely one to put down to experience and to ask the right questions next time. I don't want to rock the boat with potential employers, self employed or not, but will ask in future for my name in print :face-approve:?
Thanks again for all the replies, and to everyone reading this....please acknowledge the workers
