Photo Submission Guidelines

Last updated: 24/09/2023

The Teesside Airport Movements website welcomes all photographic submissions from either local of visiting aviation photographers. Photos can be sent in via e-mail using the Contact Us link on the menu to the left.

Unfortunately we do not link to photos on third party websites, this is due to the collapse of Fotopic which left us with hundreds of 'dead' hyperlinks.

Our aim is to provide a top quality photographic record in addition to the daily movements log of aircraft that visit the airport and use its facilities.

It is the websites aim to ensure that all photographs used for this purpose are of an acceptably high quality that compliments the high standards that the website has achieved since it was formed in early 2007.

Whilst we accept almost all photos received, as a basic guide any photographs submitted for inclusion should meet the following requirements:

  1. The photograph should be taken during the aircrafts current visit

  2. The photograph should either be taken at the airport, in the final stages of landing or immediately after rotation

  3. The subject matter should be virtually full frame in the photograph (i.e. shall have been cropped using an editing package if required)

  4. There should be no obstructions in the photograph (e.g. fences, lamp posts, buildings etc)

  5. The aircraft should be in focus (sharpened using an editing package if desired)

  6. Subtle watermarks or copyright should appear on the photograph (if not we will add this to protect your work and to keep all of our photos consistent)

  7. On the main page unless there are exceptional circumstances we will be using only one shot per aircraft on a first come, first served basis, with any others added to the relevant album

We do accept photos that do not meet all of the above requirements, but please be advised any submissions received that do not comply with the above guidelines may not be used. Editorial discretion may be applied to historical submissions where the quality of the electronic submission has been sourced from prints or slides.

Whilst not always possible, we will endeavour to upload and link any photos we receive on the same day.

If you wish to submit a photo by e-mail we can resize it, but 1040 x 780 is an ideal size.

A map of all photography locations can be found here.

Seen below are some examples of the types & quality of submissions that we are aiming to achieve.
