Markk Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hello all, I'm looking at doing an editorial photography story on pig hunting and was wondering if anyone would be interested in letting me tag along? The images would be uploaded the http://www.gettyimages.com.au/EditorialImages/Features for editorial news print/online stories both locally and internationally. I'm going to the City v Country footy game in Albury on the 6th of May and was hoping to tie it in with that trip. If anyone is interested and willing to have me tag along please let me know.

Markk Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 GREAT first post What magazine or paper ? Thanks for that post it made me chuckle. I actually work for an agency who supply images to all areas of the media both print and online. The usages can be wide and varied both in Australia as well as overseas. I did a hunting picture story a couple of years ago and it was used quite a bit. Some usages can be seen on the following sites: http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/photos/eco-photos-of-the-week-may-10-16/hunting-to-conserve http://www.theatlantic.com/life/archive/2009/07/a-new-kind-of-hunting-enthusiast/21236/ http://www.life.com/image/87214247 http://laundry.about.com/od/laundrybasics/f/How-Do-I-Clean-Hunting-Game-Bags.htm Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment

Googled alot of your work/Facebooked you. The thing is though, it is almost a weekly occurrence that an animal rights activist/vegan/RSPCA follower joins up and asks something similar or tries to get some "dirt" on hunters to use in anti-hunting stories etc. Everyone who read that first post thought the exact same thing. Also, "I actually work for an agency who supply images to all areas of the media" is the bit that would worry anyone who gave it a second thought. Not having a go at you or anything, just saying that being a minority group, we are not going to shoot ourselves in the foot. Quote Link to comment

Fair enough I kind of thought that would be the case but thought I'd ask anyway. I understand people get worried that the activists etc might use the pictures against what you guys do but I get the feeling no matter what pictures are taken or not taken they will keep banging on about anti-hunting regardless. Also I'm sure they could access online pictures from the galleries on sites like www.boardogs.com and the other online in public domain to use for their stories? I'll keep trying and see how I go as I think it will be a great picture story from a photographers point of view. I also think it's a good way of raising the profile of hunting ferals and getting that side of the story told. Too many of our city/town dwellers all love the thought of buying a choc bilby to save the species but have no idea (or care) the fact that ferals need to be destroyed as part of environmental balance. Hunting is a massive part of our culture in the bush that the vast majority don't know anything about besides things they read from the anti-hunting activists. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment

Cheers Mark There is a big pig dogging workshop at Nundle coming up soon, in the State Forests. A couple of people on here are organizing it, I think that would be the way for you to go. That way no one will have to worry about you stuffing up the permission for the property they have. In my opinion it would actually be good, as there will be alot of anti-hunting clowns there protesting, which would provide you with some good shots. Quote Link to comment
