And thus provide a free platform for any really good photographers to get themselves known.

It's a matter of supply and demand. If you are a really good photographer, but not yet recognised as such, then once you have placed your work under public scrutiny, you are in a position to say, "you like my photos, you pay for them". If you have never had the opportunity to show how good you are, nobody is going to ask you. To be able to put on your CV that your photos were used in an excellent and widely distributed caving book is a good first step.Tony_B said:Peter Burgess said:graham said:Get them for free from other cavers, thus protecting his income.

...as mugs who provide free photos? I made the point earlier that once something is acquired for nothing that becomes its value. If you are a "really good photographer" then your work is worth paying for. End of story.

Tony_B said:Crowood aren't offering The Complete Caving Manual as a marketing opportunity for struggling cave photographers to showcase their work,
Andy Sparrow said:You may be familiar with 'The Complete Caving Manual' which I was asked to write for Crowood Press back in 1996. The manual is now out of print and the publishers have requested a new edition. Unlike the original this will be in full colour which means sourcing new photographs. I'd like to say they have provided a budget for these new pictures but unfortunately (much to my frustration) that is not the case so all that's on offer is the satisfaction of seeing your work in print and a deal on cheap books to sell your mates.
We need pictures of every aspect of caving which includes: surface landscapes (UK and abroad), classic passage shapes, formations, caves in flood, cavers using different clothing and equipment, vertical caving, diving, digging, camping, expeditions, novices etc, etc.....
Please drop me an email if you can help or would like to know more: andy@mendipnet.co.uk or give me a call on 01934 741427
