I am writing to ask for permission to use one of your photographs. I'm an academic from New Zealand, now based in the UK, and I'm writing a chapter for a book about the Big Four accountancy firms and their influence today. We have a section that talks about how the skyline in most capital cities is now dominated by logos promoting PwC, EY, KPMG and Deloitte. One of your photographs - in a January 2021 issue of the 'Financial Review' - captures this perfectly. The image was in this article: https://www.afr.com/companies/professional-services/big-four-firms-on-hiring-spree-as-travel-bans-bite-20210122-p56w3r
Would it be possible to use your image in our book? I should add that this is a strictly academic book (it's full title is 'Audit Culture: How Rankings and Ratings are Re-Shaping the World’) for a small independent publisher called Pluto Press and it is unlikely to have much circulation beyond university libraries and course reading lists (unfortunately). Nonetheless, we'd really like to include your photo as it's a great image. We would of course give full acknowledgement and credit to you as photographer and copyright owner.
Let me know if this is possible, or if you require a fee, I hope it is one that we can afford.
