For Picture Editors

If you need a stills photographer inside Westminster or outside Downing Street — or fast, properly captioned coverage of breaking news in London and Essex — here is what you need to know

​

Access & accreditation NUJ press card holder with Westminster and Downing Street accreditation. Regular presence at Cabinet arrivals every sitting Tuesday, ministerial departures, state and diplomatic visits, and major political set pieces.

​

Speed Images filed within the hour via Alamy Live News and SOPA Images (Shutterstock). Edited, toned and transmitted on site — no return to base, no picture-desk dependency.

​

Captions & metadata Every frame carries full IPTC metadata and a complete, accurate caption: who, what, where, when — written by someone who has spent years on the other side of the barrier. No five-keyword stubs.

​

Kit & coverage Nikon Z9 system. Based in Brentwood, Essex — central London inside the hour, with deep local knowledge of Essex for regional breaking news.

​

Archive 32,000+ images at Alamy, including extensive coverage of current and recent Cabinet ministers, party leaders, and political events.
