Daily Mirror and Greedy Robbie Williams & Bic Runga

Today's Daily Mirror in the UK have picked up on the Robbie Williams trying to grab the copyright of photographers images.. So, here it is..




























Just to reiterate my thoughts on my dairy on the day of the Robbie Williams concert, I will never give away my copyright.. In my opinion, if anyone does that they are stupid.. But, that is just my opinion. I have had a lot of emails today from photographers and journalists asking me about the Robbie concert. I have also had quite a few people emailing me and telling me how happy they are that I refused to make a stand and not sign the contract.. If, photographers sign these contracts, it will become the norm for all bands and artists. I then will probably become a window cleaner, male model, classical pianist, Russian Revolutionary or something else. But wont photograph Celebes or musicians and relinquish my copyright..

Bic Runga was playing at The Bloomsbury Theatre in London. I did a shoot with her a week or so ago. So, I headed to the Bloomsbury and shot the show. I must say, she is brilliant. I have never seen her perform before, she was truly fantastsic. The show was sold out. After the show, I went back to the dressing room to say hello. After a while we were all moved out as the theatre was closing. So, we all said our goodbyes and went our different ways..
