1.  Terms & Conditions.
Click the tab in the Menu for my T&Cs.  Best to read them before you really get started.

2.  To buy books, postcards, prints and publication/display rights.
Buy my books and postcards by clicking on the links in the menu.  Prints, from A5 @ £17.50 to A3 @ £175, can be bought by clicking on 'BUY PRINT'  close to each individual photograph.  All prints will have a small copyright line in the bottom corner.  For larger sizes, please send me a message via the Contact form.  Please remember, you would be buying the physical book, card or print for your own personal use only, but no intellectual property rights in the photographs, themselves. Also, they must not be posted on social media (see below).  For the right to publish or display an image, please, send me a message via the Contact form.

3.  About John Walmsley.
I've been a freelance documentary photographer since leaving Art School in 1968.  My final year project on A.S. Neill and his democratic school, Summerhill, was published by Penguin Books in 1969. 
My work has been published in 1,000+ books worldwide (I'm the author or joint-author of 15 of them).
In one form or another, my work is also held at the National Portrait Gallery, the National Art Library at the V&A, the V&A Museum of Childhood, the Tate Britain Library, Liverpool Museum and la Bibliothèque nationale de France.
Mostly, I photograph ordinary people and the interesting things they do. My first story was the sit-in at Guildford School of Art in 1968 at the end of my final year there.  It became the longest ever sit-in at a UK educational establishment and led directly to there being students and staff on the Advisory Boards of schools, colleges and universities.  The book, 'Don't Tell Me How to Run My Art School', By Claire Grey and John Walmsley, is available on this site, here:

Looking back, the stories which I think have stood the test of time were all self-started.  If you're interested in the subject, it makes all the difference.
In the 70s I was a part-time lecturer at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.  Plus, I lived and worked with a large group of artists at the Digswell Arts Trust in Welwyn Garden City (think, very large house, lots of creativity but very little heating).
Increasingly these days, I give Zoom talks to students or professionals about having your ducks in a row (being business-like) from the beginning so you stand a better chance of making a living.  In particular, protecting your copyright so you could be paid later (sometimes, years later) when someone uses your work without asking and refuses to pay anything, typically saying, "Photos are free, right?". 

4.  Social media
If you would like to post my work on social media, you do need to ask first.

5.  My fees.
Because I have bills to pay, I need to charge for all uses, including all unauthorised ones, so, if you'd like to use my work in any way at all, please ask me first.  It would be cheaper.  I use the NUJ's Freelance Fees Guide as a minimum and double the fees whenever the photographer's credit is missing.

6.  Current projects, books and interviews.
I'm busy editing some eBooks based on the stories I've covered.  The first is now available on Amazon Books:

There's another 10 in the pipeline.

I take part in  numerous joint exhibitions with loads of other artists.  Over the past few months I've exhibited in Sydney, Sao Paolo, Arizona, Texas, New York City, Tbilisi, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield Rome and France.

I give Zoom talks so, please, do get in touch if you would like one.
1. 'Getting Your Ducks in a Row' gives advice on being business-like from the beginning so you protect your © and stand a better chance of making a living. 
2. 'Tackling infringers' covers how to find and then pursue infringements of your work so you are paid your fees. 
3. A talk about my own work over 50 years.
