Since you were work working 'self employed' and using your own camera equipment (what about film?) you almost certainly do have copyright of the images and you should be kicking up a fuss about their use without acknowledgement and/or renumeration. Try using them yourself commercially somewhere and see what they do. If this was one of those ?65 a day 'self employed' non-contract situations then you owe it to everyone to f**k them over as much as they have tried it with you. It could be a lesson to all companies trying the whole 'self employed but not really but it saves on PAYE/NI/pension costs'.
