Great news. I have been invited to shoot editorial photos for Getty Images. I can't tell you how exciting this is.

From hudreds of applicants, thirty people at iStockphoto have been invited to join Getty as editorial photographers. To kick things off there's a five day event in Istanbul in November.

Loads of great photographers will be there and lots of shooting, crit sessions and Q&A sessions with some of my favourite photo journalists.

I'm truly amazed and inspired.
