Jools Elliott Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Morning all I had some images back in the Sun this January which showed up on my account at the end of February. Anyone know how quick they usually settle their invoices??? 60 days or wishful thinking??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Elliott Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Thanks Lawrenson Photo. It's coming up 45 days on Monday so I'll be keeping a watchful eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin Rogozinski Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 My last year January news images from the Sun were reported in February and paid in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York Photographer Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Sun have a habit of reusing pictures, without reporting them. Keep an eye out for them in the coming months and years. Take a screen of any subsequent uses and be ready to chase if they don't go on as sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just checked and found one of my Beast from the East photos used on two different dates ten days apart in different articles in the Scottish Sun.

Colblimp Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I've had a sale cleared this morning which was reported on 30th November, so don't be impatient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 5 hours ago, LawrensonPhoto said: If you plan on doing this as a regular thing, set yourself up with a spreadsheet of image name image ref where published url date used date reported date paid date to report to Alamy (4 months!) etc, etc I have unreported usages from the 11th November that need chasing up as well That’s a good idea. So far, I have been taking a screenshot which shows the url, and then renaming the screenshot with name of newspaper and date it appeared. I keep them in a Dropbox folder, and delete once reported.

Sally Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Just a tangential question: one of my Beast from the East photos was in The Mirror, then appeared the same day in WSBuzz news, whatever that is. Is it one of these websites that scrapes news websites and can’t be chased for uses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'd imagine so. There's a huge number of those sites now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
