York Photographer Rob Cook FBIPP FMPA QEP got stung whilst working for a client recently. Although it was physical pain, not financial pain he endured. Rob Takes up the story.

“I was shooting some pictures for a specialist scientific picture library of bees and beekeeping. Despite wearing the full spaceman suit I got stung on the cheek, when I held the camera to my eye (it pushed the mesh up against his face). It must be 25 years since I got stung last, and I’d forgotten how much it hurt. I carried on by holding the camera at arms length, and shooting like a tourist, I managed to get some good shots”

York Photographer Rob Cook FBIPP FMPA QEP recently sold an obscure picture of a bank in Finland to an Irish Newspaper via an agency. Rob Said

"I never cease to be amazed at who buys what for what usage. The Picture is of the sign above a high street branch of the Bank in Turku Finland. I took the shot whilst in Finland 2003 when I was covering the FIA Drag Race there. Quite what the article is about, I'm not sure but it's better that they use one of my shots, than someone elses."
