Photographic Agencies Basics

You can find photography agencies to fit every specialty. There are photo agencies that cover fashion, sports, wildlife, stock images and more. Also use a photography agent to put you in touch with or to sell you images of one of the many people under or working with him or her. Many agencies hold large stock collections of images available, or they can send you someone on assignment.

Make your selection of photography agencies based on your need. Start by reviewing agencies by looking at the types of pictures offered. Narrow down to your top choices your favorites, and then start looking at pricing. If the pricing is out of your budget, find out if a lower priced agency can provide a look similar to the higher priced agency.

To make the most of photographic agencies:

1. Look at corporate photographic agencies to help you with headshots or branding your corporate image.

2. Work with fashion photo agencies to help you with projects such as magazine photo shoots or book cover shoots.

3. Take advantage of stock photography agencies so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Purchase pics that have already been taken instead of investing in entire new shoots.

Look to corporate photography agencies

Seek out a corporate photographer agency to help you with your next business project. Corporate photographer agencies can help you with head shots, or can strategize with you on what imagery can help you define your brand image.

Hire a fashion photographer agency for your publication

High end fashion magazines may look to outsource to photo agencies for their photo spread needs. Study the different styles available, and even if you can't afford one photographer, see if the look can be replicated by another artist.

Take advantage of stock photography agencies

Look at the vast libraries of stock photography agencies to see if they have the pictures that you need.
  • When purchasing from stock photography agencies, determine what the length of the licensing agreement is before agreeing upon the terms of the terms of payment. Some companies offer you lifetime use, while others only offer you limited usage. Also make sure that your stock photo agency outlines the exclusivity of the agreement.
