I am a commercial photographer.
In July of this year, I was contacted directly by a large UK company (I am happy to name them if this is permissible) to do a small (1/4 day) job. I sent them the files and the invoice and awaited payment.
Meanwhile, on the 8th of this month, they commissioned another 1/4 day shoot. The person I was dealing with promised me payment for the first job before the day of the shoot for the second one. Payment didn't arrive.
So, based on my experience with payment for the first job, I said that I would only deliver the files for the second job when I received payment for BOTH jobs. (In fact, I sent them one file - of 6 - from the second job along with the invoice. Probably a mistake)
I am still awaiting payment.
The woman I have been dealing with is fairly far down the food-chain, I suspect.
Should I start emailing some of the names on their website?
The money involved isn't huge - less than €1000 - it's just the principle of the thing and the fact that they are a large company.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
