Are you looking to clear a copyright on a photograph and all you have to go on is the agency stamp on the back of a print? ….and a Google search is not bringing up the current owners contact details ?
Many photo agencies have just disappeared or closed their business with collections lost forever – but many still exist, probably in the collection of a current operating photo agency.
Here at the Press Photo History Project we are mapping the whereabouts of these collections and we have found quite a few!
On file we have contact details of current © owners of hard to trace archives, those we don’t have can usually be found through our extensive world wide network of photo agency owners, private photo collections and photo curators and researchers.
We work with film production companies, advertising agencies, brands, museums and charities solving lost image copyrights.
Pricing: We do charge a fee. This ranges from a one -off £75 for a search posted on our websites PressPhotoHistory.com and PhotoArchiveNews.com …to a daily research fee starting a £250 if you require further investigation.
So, if you are looking for that unfindable photo agency? – give us a go – we are connecting and clearing photo licenses every week.
[email protected] or call on Will 0n + 44 (0)7802437827 London.
• Note: we can now trace rare or out of print magazines and newspapers through our network of collectors and libraries.
• Our researchers can work in house or remotely and can undertake full search, curate and permission clearing.
