“Payback has helped me to keep my studio lights on”
Acknowledging the impact of digital on the photographic profession and the diminishing value of stock photography, Chris Warren said: “It’s good to know that someone cares about copyright and usage fees, and that DACS is there to help us.”
Sue Hendra said: “The annual royalty I receive through Payback has been really useful over the years. It has helped me to buy materials and keep my studio lights on. It’s an up and down financial ride being an artist and a little bonus really can make a difference. I urge anyone eligible to sign up.”
Payback closes in just a few days!
Has your work ever been published in UK books, magazines or on TV? If so, you’re probably eligible for Payback.
To get your share of over £5.5 million in royalties this year, make sure you complete our online claim form by
