Kym from my understanding, there has been a significant change in the law on the issue of subcontracting. Hence why I'll be attending the AIPP's seminars on this important issue.
And also, my comments were meant as helpful, and I for one am always willing to offer advice based on real world experience. Helping each other at any level, and all levels can only be beneficial to all (IMHO)
Plus I accept that on some levels of business advice you dont need to be in a photographic business to possess or offer genuinely helpful information.
