OutreachEP - Mission Statement
Editorial Photographers (EP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the business of editorial photography. We maintain an internet discussion forum on business issues with more than 2800 members participating from over 30 countries around the globe. Via the forum photographers exchange information on business practices, copyright and contract concerns. On EP's web site at http://www.editorialphoto.com, photographers can find useful resources such as sample business forms, publisher contract reviews and more.
Our mission is to educate photographers about business issues and in the process to raise the level of business practices in the profession. EP advocates fair contracts from publishers, and promotes the position that both photographers and publishers must seek win/win working relationships for either side to profit and prosper. In the face of the rapidly changing editorial marketplace, EP's goal is to find positive solutions to problems within the industry.
