In these days of the Pandemic it would only be right to address where I stand these-days work wise. A great deal of my day to day work has come to a grinding halt due to many worldwide factors. Agents having to cope with new work environments and practises, closures off printers, bookstores, exhibitions cancellations. Then there is the fact that I am unable to travel any distance to photograph new stock, and cannot engage in new portrait sessions for new models. While I am missing this all so much I am fortunate to have over 40 years worth of photography and art on file, so taking time out to refresh some images that I have forgotten about or never got the time to finish. I still have thousands of stock images available to purchase through many agents and companies that remain working throughout these difficult times, be it on a reduced workforce.
If you have difficulty in obtaining a particular image that you wish to licence drop me a line and I will endeavour to help you out. I suppose its at times like this that we all witness the best and the worst in certain people and over the last months I have had several big companies that are well financed and remain busy in these difficult times approach wishing to licence many of my images under various dubious agreements for free. Over the years I have allowed the use of many of my images for charity use or personal projects but I draw the line at big companies leeching work from small businesses. These are times when everyone should be supporting each other so if you are looking for free work I would politely request you don't waste my time. |
While all this has taking its effect on us all I have tried to adapt as best I can and have spend time venturing into other areas that are saver at the moment and can be done without venturing out of my studio. You will now find many of my images are now available for purchase on everything from fine art prints to clothing and home ware via sites such as Redbubble.
If you are an author I am still providing a full book cover design service, wither its for ebook or print. I can provide pre designed covers or bespoke whatever your preference or budget allows. I am also happy to design personal one of items such as greeting cards, retouch old photos, convert photos into beautiful watercolour art. Several customers have even had me design a wedding album long after their special day. With many unable to venture out simply email me your requirements and I we can discuss your requirements safely. Whatever the future holds I remain positive, but in the meantime we all have to adapt to new working methods and stay safe. Thank you. Victor |
