We would ask that you direct any queries to ourselves, partly to limit the number of enquiries you have to deal with, partly so we can help protect your best interests. I've been contacted by a journalist from another agency what should I do? If you are not sure please speak to your contact at SWNS. Sometimes there are reasons why we can't offer any payment, for example if it would be in breach of the Bribery Act or if it would against IPSO guidelines. We'll pay you your share of any sales as soon as possible, the timescale varies but the average time is about 7 days after publication. Often our pictures and video are used online within minutes of them being sent out, we never know about use in print until the paper is actually published. When will SWNS know if my picture is going to be printed? Our foreign agents include Abaca press, Scanpix, Bulls Press, Splash News and Northfoto. The UK agencies we run include Masons News Service, Ross Parry Agency, News Team International, Centre Press, Northscot and Capital Press. SWNS runs a number of different agencies in different parts of the UK, we also work with agents in different countries. I've seen my picture bylined to a different agency, have they stolen it? For technical and style reasons some publishers do not use a byline but this is out of our control. We always keep your name with your picture or video and request that it is used where ever it is printed, we use the format 'Photographer / '. Will I get a byline if the picture is published? Unless there is a contract to say otherwise your picture or video remains your copyright - by sending it to us you are giving us a licence to include the picture or video on our news service and license it on your behalf. Who owns copyright of my picture or video now I have sent it to SWNS? Being the copyright holder in almost all cases means being the person who took the picture or video. Please only send us pictures, video or stories for which you are the copyright holder. We take other people's copyright very seriously. ![]() ![]() ![]() Can I send you pictures or videos taken by other photographers?
