Fell Running Photos Wanted

[Shane Ohly]

I am currently working on a new brochure for inov-8 and we are looking for some great photos of fell running to use. These could be portrait, landscape, close up or panoramic images but they must capture the grit and/or beauty of running in the mountains.

Obviously if the runner’s shoes are visible, then they must be wearing inov-8's!

Original (previously unpublished) photos are preferable.

Please email any images you would like us to consider to [email protected].

No images will be used without the permission of the photographer.

Thanks for your help.

Inov-8 will make money from the brochures (through sales) so its reasonable for them to pay the market rate for using original copyright works belonging to others.

How much are they offering?

But what is the price for runner vanity?

Nowt, vanity is whats ruining the market for full time photographers. But you will need the permission of the person/s in the photograph - they may want something in return too.

As a commercial company Inov-8 will pay for images, free ones are often poor quality which reflects badly on the advertiser - FRA mag is full of crap looking ads, due to poor images - which no doubt effect sales.

there are pro photograhers posting on the forum on a regular basis, best bet is to spend some time looking at the images they have.

Mine are at mixed in with other sports (although I've seen MTB'ers in Inov-8's), others will no doubt post their links too.

I would consider it an honour to feature in a photograph advertising the finest fell/trail, etc shoe company in the market. (Even if I had to share the space with David).

Inov8 are welcome to use my Avatar photo free of charge too

Although , as Richard Asquith says they may find some better shots on fell running photo sites like ...

http://www.fellrunningpictures.co.uk/ or

Both Al and Pete are photo and fell running enthusiasts in my area and don't charge for what they do .
I'm sure however they would want donations from a commercial .

But would you consider it a signal honour to be photographed with myself? Perhaps cigar-mouthed? And no, that's not a metaphor
