Freelance photographer Charles Pycraft says Big Pictures owes him nearly £5,000 and has threatened to start winding-up proceedings against the company.

The move comes two weeks after the agency told staff it was experiencing cash-flow problems”.

Pycraft has served Big Pictures with a notice of his intention to issue a winding-up order over unpaid fees of £4,965.50.

In his notice Pycraft said: “Between these dates (5 July-21 August 2012) gave Big Pictures (UK) Ltd pictures to sell as my agent on a 50/50 % sales basis.

“They have already received the money for these picture sales and are withholding the money after saying payments would be made by 31 August.”

If the company, which is run by ‘Mr Paparazzi’ Darryn Lyons, is to avoid being issued with a winding-up order then it has until 5 October to pay.

News of the action comes two weeks after Press Gazette revealed that the agency had warned staff “only essential payments for short-term ongoing trading are being made at present”.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer man. Assuming that 'nicer' means 'more odious'.

    It seems like Darryn still has money - it is his company that has gone into administration. Darryn has allegedly put in a bid for the archive pictures held by the company.

    Lyons resigned from Big Pictures 5 months ago but remained as Chairman.

    I feel for the staff who lost their salaries & now their jobs. I'm sure Mr Pap has ensured he has enough money hidden away for further pointless plastic surgery, unless it's having his mouth welded shut!

    Can you tell I don't like Darren Lyons?:rolleyes:

    Good. Now thanks to the Leveson Enquiery sleazy, invasive photos are no longer the money spinners they used to be and low lifes like Mr P can crawl back under the stones from which they originally emerged. I hope he is sued beyond bankruptcy.
