I am a member of the Picture Research Association (www.picture-research.org.uk). 

I am happy to work from a prepared list supplied to me or from a manuscript or synopsis. 

I have experience of working with a large number of commercial picture agencies both in the UK and abroad. 

I am happy to contact or visit museums and galleries to select appropriate images and have experience of obtaining images from individual photographers, illustrators and websites. 

I am also experienced in clearing copyright, obtaining the appropriate licences for publication and negotiating reproduction fees. 

I can provide budgeting information, or if a fixed budget is supplied to me, I will ensure that the project image cost comes within that budget.

Picture research administration (keeping records of images bought, dates, file names, etc).

I take on the responsibility of keeping electronic copies and returning images to sources.

I am very experienced with Photoshop and can manipulate/restore images where appropriate.

I supply captions and credit information.
