I was contacted by IPCC regarding the incident and I’m meeting with them for an interview and delivering high-res images that may be used in their investigations.
Media Motives
I was contacted by a friend expressing concern over my motives behind ‘selling’ my images to the press. I thought she knew me a bit better than that.
To clarify, I will not be profiting from any of my images relating to the poor man that passed away.
The media will be paying me a fair price for any freelance images they’ve used, but there’s no way I’d profit from someone else’s misfortune.
Any proceeds from this sad occurance will be donated to charity.
