On Thursday 26 February, following the highly successful media event, “I’m a Photographer … not a Terrorist”, outside New Scotland Yard, NUJ members organised a meeting on photography and the law.
The meeting, hosted by Photo-Forum was chaired by Jess Hurd. The evening was introduced by photographer, Peter Macdiarmid, with solicitor, Anna Mazzola, from Hickman and Rose and photographer, Andrew Wiard speaking.
