Announces The Addition Of Four New Collections To Their Archive
Woodstock, NY, October 8, 2008: The Image Works, (theimageworks.com
) a stock photography agency located in Woodstock, NY, celebrates 25
years in business. Founded in 1983 by two photographers, it has grown
to become one of the oldest and most important independent editorial
stock photo agencies in the United States. For over two decades, The
Image Works has stayed true to its core values by remaining completely
independent of the forces exerted by the industry giants attempting to
control the market.
As part of its ongoing growth, The Image Works is pleased to announce
the addition of four new collections to its archive. The new
collections are AKG Images (Germany), the British Museum of Natural History (Great Britain), Photo 12 (France), and the Auscape Natural History Archive
(Australia). The addition of these collections is one more step towards
achieving the goal of creating a unified, comprehensive archive of
exceptional contemporary and historical images.
As editorial specialists, The Image Works believes that the value of an
image lies in a combination of its visual strength and the information
it conveys. The Image Works’ archive is extremely diverse, yet
carefully focused, with images from varied sources: top-notch
photojournalists, a network of affiliated agencies, specialized
collections, museums, and newspapers. The archive contains over one
million images online, with access to more than 35 million images. This
unique collection, combined with a highly experienced and specialized
research staff, is an unparalleled resource for editorial picture
buyers. The Image Works licenses images to books, magazines,
documentary films, advertisers, and other media.
