picking the right gear to telling the taxman.
Comment
Pete Bargh, publisher of FPME, reveals a torrid tale of how he made it as a freelancer. There's some really useful info from a man on the inside. Also find out how Roger Payne's trip to Rockingham motor circuit to practice his panning techniques earned him a neat £150.
Money makers
A selection of photographs that have successfully sold, plus the stories of how they were taken.
Digital technique
Essential techniques for digital SLR users – you’ll wonder how you and your clients ever did without them. This month we look at RAW files and explain how to use them, so you can switch to RAw and reap the rewards.
Inside view
Every issue, we take one part of the freelance market and talk to some key figures to find out what’s really
needed to break into it. We kick off with two of the UK’s leading stock libraries to find out what they look for from potential contributors.
Events guides
Events across the UK that have potential to produce saleable images. Plus, where to sell them once you’ve got the shots. This month we focus on bonfires, surfing, an Autumn show and Blackpool illuminations.
Tried & Tested
Tests of new equipment, both photographic and otherwise, that will help your freelance career. See what we think of Sigma's AF 15mm f/2.8 EX, Photoshop CS2 training DVD, Brother HL-2070N inkjet printer, Peelable business cards, an 80cm 5-in-1 reflector and a CD label printer.
