Hello fellow photographers. Without giving too much away I've been approached by "a small company" who are publishing their first book in the Spring.

They've asked permission to use some of my pics they've spotted on flickr.

They say they've "sourced over 600 photos from those within the MTB community, some from professional photographers"

I was wondering if that included anyone from here?

No details required. PM me if necessary..

Yes I've been approached through Flickr mail. Haven't answered as I wasn't really sure if it was sound.

I Gave a few pics a couple of years ago to the Rough Ride lot I think. Got a free route guide book and a few mentions in the book too.

Genuine enough. Just wondered what terms were being offered to others. I normally let mine go for free for 'not-for-profit' use but charge for companies.

Got a free route guide book and a few mentions in the book too.
That's the same terms on offer here too.

Yeah I have, the deal is a book for every shot used, plus £££ for a cover shot if used.

i think everyone that sent in pics for the first edition of the trail centre guide got a free book whether a pic was used or not (pretty sure the request for pics was asked on here too). We submitted pics, they werent used, we got a book and a note apologising for not choosing our pics.
