The BFP “Market Newsletter” has reported that a new organisation has recently been created called the British Photographic Council.
The BPC is an umbrella body, representing many of the British photographic organisations such as; Bureau of Freelance Photographers (BFP), National Union of Journalists (NUJ), British Association of Picture Libraries and Agencies (BAPLA), Association of Photographers (AoP), British Press Photographers Association (BPPA), Editorial Photographers United Kingdom (EPUK), Chartered Institute of Journalists (CIoJ), and various others.
This new organisation is designed to protect the rights and interests of photographers, and those involved in representing them, and distributing their works.
Areas of interest include issues such as copyright legislation, licensing agreements, orphan works, and the rights of photographers to undertake their work without hindrance or harassment - the latter being an issue which is uppermost in importance to all photographers these days.
