Last updated: 04th April 2023. TakeBetterPictures (“I”, “us”, “we”, “our”) operates the TakeBetterPictures website (the “Service”).
The TakeBetterPictures is my personal website/blog written by me, and the contents including reviews on this website are of my own opinion and research.
The products reviewed on TakeBetterPictures.co.uk have been purchased by myself unless otherwise stated.
It will always be clear if a product has been given to me for free in exchange for a review to be published on this blog or any other website. The opinions given are always honest and my own.
A free product will not guarantee a positive review. A positive review is only given if I think the product/service deserves it.
I will only review products suitable for this blog. If you have a product or service that you would like me to review, please get in touch via email: contact@TakeBetterPictures.co.uk
I accept paid for guest posts on this blog and these will always be marked as such either by “Guest Post”, “Guest Article”, “Contributed Article” or the author’s name.
Sometimes I work with brands on sponsored posts written by myself and these will be marked as Sponsored, Collaborative, PR Collaboration or similar.
There is space for adverts in various places on the website, and I am happy to advertise products that are suitable for this blog in exchange for a fee.
Affiliate Disclosure
To be upfront with all readers, I would like to disclose that I am an affiliate partner with various platforms from which I may receive a commission from purchases that you make. Note that my commission adds NO additional cost to you and in some cases will give you a better deal.
I sometimes promote affiliate products in my articles and I currently work with companies like CreativeLive, Udemy, Skillshare, LinkedIn Learning, and more…
I am also participating in the Amazon Associates Programs, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to sites like Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com .
There are thousands of shops selling products and photography gear, I just find Amazon to be often the cheapest and fastest in shipping items. Also, whenever there is something wrong with the order, they are quick to help out, offering an exchange or full refund.
My intentions are to only promote products that I (or my good friends) have personally tried, used, and truly feel could be valuable to you.
TakeBetterPictures is my personal project that takes a lot of effort, time, and expenses to run.
If you purchase a product through my website or my recommended links, I want to say thank you! It will help me pay all the bills associated with running the website, and it allows me to create valuable content for you all.
Wishing you all the very best,
Roland Pokrywka
