A new, more ethical practice!
Under UK GDPR’s fairness and transparency requirements, it’s a legal requirement to inform parents if the school benefits financially from photo sales. We choose not to use commission because it avoids creating any transparency or financial fair play concerns for school and Local Authorities. Because of this, we can offer lower prices for parents as well as offer two free half days of commercial photography per year to all of our schools. This not only benefits parents, but also helps schools to showcase the good work that they do. It also helps us to build a good working relationship with the schools so that we are able create images that reflect the ethos of the school.
