Mallory Photography

PaulSands · 19 Jan 2006, 22:08 (Ref:1504761)

Has anybody heard whether the same arrangements with regards to photography at Mallory, i.e the resident photgrapher having exclusive rights, is still in place this year?

Actually I had a question about this, at the Plum pudding I signed on but wasn't asked to sign any agreements or anything. Now I have somebody who wants to buy a couple of prints, do you think I can sell them?

Unless you hear otherwise assume you can.

I'll go ahead then...

Yes, probably best not to ask on a public forum Mike!

Paul, have you contacted Helen Lovell? She will be handling press passes again this year.

PaulSands · 20 Jan 2006, 17:25 (Ref:1505387)

Sent two mails that havent been responded to. Will phone next week now thats confirmed

These are your people who normally have the Mallory rights.

As far as I know they have sole rights for 'selling' work. You can take it, you just can't sell it. Only deviation away from this I gather is National events where you sign on with the series organisers or hold a series media pass and that covers you to market your shots in line with their conditions not the circuit's or their preferred photographer's.

Rumour has it they're chums of the circuit owners hence their 'sole-status position'

I did a bike trackday at Mallory in September and they were doing the photos. They seem to have the monopoly there (everywhere else in the UK the trackday organiser uses their own people). I can safely say that the resultant images were pathetic, absolutely appalling. I only saw some thumbnails before I bought and I was in a rush. I meant to complain but never got round to it. If anyone's interested I can upload some examples.

Oh, hi by the way, first post here!

Just had a quick look at the Reilly studio website and it looks like he is going to other tracks as well, shame he cant spell Donington

redshoes · 15 Feb 2006, 20:43 (Ref:1523733)

We can probably let him off that. At times even Donington can't spell Donnington

No way!!!!

that's seriously seriously bad news. Surely there's some EU directive that can applied about restriction of trade.
I'd swear profusely but I dont want a warning

Be interesting to know if he's paid any licence for the MSV tracks

Actually theres no way they could get exclusivity at all the major circuits because you could get the monopolies and mergers commission involved

The javascript sucks as it doesnt refresh the date combo when you change venues

redshoes · 15 Feb 2006, 21:25 (Ref:1523792)

Calm down Paul. From looking at the website I suspect he's just covering track/test days at other local tracks, same as any other jobbing photog.

PaulSands · 15 Feb 2006, 21:34 (Ref:1523798)

ahhh but you're not allowed to at Mallory which is what bums me out. End of 2004 I was expressly forbidden, by them not the circuit, from doing some work for a couple of drivers at a Mallory test day on the premise that he would do it...only for him not to show up. To say I was p'd off would be an understatement.
Plus you arent supposed to explicitly sell your images from MSV circuits, a stipulatioon that caused one of the ff1600 photographers serious grief at the beginning of last year, despite his innocence

MikeHoyer · 16 Feb 2006, 00:35 (Ref:1523939)

Ah, that would be me I take it! Fortunately we managed to clear that one up OK.

PaulSands · 16 Feb 2006, 06:24 (Ref:1524048)

names were ommitted to protect the innocent

**Snapper Baz** · 16 Feb 2006, 11:28 (Ref:1524206)

Paul, I'd just keep low and just do the jobs you need to do without telling ANYONE and don't put your sticky lable/contact details on your pictures taken at Mallory-done!

PaulSands · 16 Feb 2006, 11:51 (Ref:1524223)

I know Baz it just winds me up, its as much to do with the ever growing restrictions that are applied to pretty much everything anybody tries to do in Britain today as it is the Mallory Park situation

Oops.. didn't know that. Is it a new thing or has it always been the case?
