The BPPA strongly condemns the arrest of @PeterKMac1/ @LondonNPictures and another photographer by @SurreyPolice this morning at a @JustStop_Oil protest at the M25 services. Press should be able to operate without the fear of arrest.

1) I was arrested by the #Nypd photographing protests in #newyork yesterday whilst on assignment for @TheSunUS despite displaying US state department foreign press credentials and making it clear upon arrest. Spent 10.5hrs in custody, incl 8 hrs in a cell of 70ppl.. #nyc

Freelancers! I’ve lost my job and every other gig has been cancelled. We have no statutory sick pay and no support from the government.

My bookings for the next few months have all but disappeared. As a self-employed photographer I face several months of little or no income whilst those who have employed jobs are likely to get 80% of their income covered #notreallyfair #photography

Thank you @theJeremyVine - after waiting a week for this, & feeling really positive given all the other measures that had been announced, I felt like I'd been kicked in the teeth. Like I'm unimportant. That's on top of the fact half my invoices haven't been paid due to the virus.

Such a shame Naomi Scott feels she has to over accentuate her every reaction to fit in on the couch!! Be yourself, be proud and chill out! #TheGNShow #grahamnorton

I'm so not getting this couch tonight. Princess jasmine needs to be put to bed she's so annoying. Will Smith will never be the genie. I've never laughed at Kevin Hart 🤔🤔 but I did love hidden figures staring octavia Spencer, well worth a watch. #TheGNShow

I’m a white male middle aged photographer, I’m just trying to pay my bills and bring up my children. What would you have us all do instead? Throughout my career I have mostly been commissioned by females.
