"Pam has been a great help on some recent projects of mine. The projects were quite large productions with fairly complex usage rights that needed to be negotiated. There was a lot of backwards and forwards with the client and Pam was always on hand to either review amended contracts or to give general guidance. With her knowledge of the photography industry she also acted as a great mediator to find the balance between what the client wanted but also making sure that my team and I were protected in terms of IP rights"

"I first worked with Pam on a large photography project involving multiple shoots across different countries for a large pharmaceutical company because I was unsure on how to cost. I had a rough idea but wasn’t sure if it was correct. Pam wrote up an extensive estimate for me which was accepted earning me more than I would’ve on my own and in turn teaching me a lot about the costing structure on a large scale job. 5 years later the client wanted to renew their license so another call to Pam was made to secure the right deal".
