Sorry to keep bladdering on about the demise of local newspaper photographers but only one of those head and shoulders (Nick Gill) looks as if it was taken by a pro’ snapper. The others look like Facebook grabs or worse. A quality head and shoulders photograph should be a must for any editor.
BTW Good luck in your new roles.
