Q. What sort of photos should I send?

Chances are, if you have a picture you have shown all your friends you have a picture we could could make the newspapers or real cash. Obviously there is a huge market for celebrity pictures but we also use pictures of breaking news stories, quirky pictures and pictures that just make you laugh. Here are a few pointers:

SHOWBIZ - When it comes to celebrities the best pictures are exclusive, recent pictures of 'A' list celebrities going about their daily lives. Although most celebrities are well used to being photographed, We cannot use pictures that invade privacy, cause harassment or put anybody in harm's way.

BREAKING NEWS - Citizen journalists fill more of the national papers every year. Nearly every recent major news event has been covered with pictures and video from mobile phones and compact cameras. The key here is speed - the first good picture sent to a newspaper is almost always the one which gets used.

WEATHER - British people and British newspapers love to talk about the weather, the more extreme the better. If you have been flooded, snowed in, blown away or baked to a crisp you may well be in a position to submit a photo and get fame and reward.

QUIRKY - The best pictures are the ones that amuse, amaze or take your breath away. If you are so pleased with a picture you have emailed it to all your friends, chances are it will make newspaper fame.

Q. How does the app work?

Take a photo with your iphone camera (or pick a photo from album), enter a simple description of the event (what, where, when), and hit the submit button. It’s as simple as that.

Q. How do I know if my photo has been used?

Once the news agency have received your photo they will, if appropriate, ring you back straight away and ask a bit about where and when the photo was taken. They will then keep you informed, via email, if the photo has been used.

Q. How much will I earn?

The news agency will approach the appropriate publications to find the best deal for your picture. They work with every national newspaper and magazine in the UK and have a network of agents in every major country of the world to maximise the payout for you. Depending on the nature of the photo and the number of publications the photo gets used it could be anything from hundreds to thousands of pounds. If you are the first person sending pictures from a breaking news story you can make several hundred pounds, if you have an exclusive picture of a celebrity it could be several thousand. There is no upper limit on how much a picture can be worth, the agency has sold pictures for upwards of £20,000 and can always get the best price for exclusives.
