^ I think if an agreement has been made & by the sounds of it Nauli has gone above & beyond to get in contact after following his end of the deal.. More than fair to name & shame.. Too much political correctness & more name & shaming needs to occur not just in this scenario but other scenario's too these days.

I also do Automotive photography work myself & it just shits over other photographers that try & do the right thing when this kind of shit occurs.

Totally agree with Slapper. If a deal was brokered and isn't being upheld by one party, then they should be singled out from the rest of the industry, as opposed to simply tarring them all together.

Totally understand if you have agreed over emails with what each other is getting but to name and shame is going pretty far, especially the garage journal. I've taken a screen shot of this and sent it to ashley for ya tho.

You don't seem to understand how sponsorship and advertising works...

Like Astralex says it was all agreed up front just like any sponsorship is...they were sent my sponsorship booklet, so it wasn't just a "backroom deal" done via email or sms. My other sponsors ...John Fowler Autosport and J&W Zarb Car Craft...all fulfilled our agreements as professionals do.
And the car did get some static coverage from the event broadcaster.
At the end of the day A Westwood Photography & Garage Journal made an agreement and renegged on it....no ifs or buts...simple as that.

What were you driving in Targa West? I was on road closures and on occasion had a chance to get the camera out and capture some of the goings on.
I would happily give you full size copies of any shots i might have. I dont do it for money just a bit of fun.
Given you have been effectively ripped off by a member of the car community it is the least i could do to try and maintain the balance in the force.

I 've had a completely different experience to Nauli as on the Sunday at the show and shine they came to me asking if they could publish pics/specs of my rothmans escort in the next publication I agreed as its a good excuse to get the old girl out so time/location was arranged. From the initial contact it was known I wouldn't get any money out of it but they were happy to share the pictures and video, which to be fair they have and i could not fault them on their communication/timing. Whether the feature will be any good or not I'm not fussed as taking the car for a drive in the state forest was good enough :-)

This is all I could find. Appears they were at the event?

Interesting...they didn't contact me at all...even after numerous emails...From the post it looks like a "Michele Seymour" took the photo....no idea who that is.....it's a good photo though....and shows their logo up very well!
