Glow Images to produce RM collection
In recent months, several companies primarily associated with royalty free imagery have announced plans to start producing or distributing rights managed imagery as well. The most recent of these is Glow Images, a Miami-based RF production company known for its ethnically diverse lifestyle imagery. The company has announced it will create a RM collection of up to 5,000 images by the end of the year. The stock photo industry consultancy Pepper Stark will manage the channel distribution of the collection.
Glow Images will make an initial offering of 1,500 conceptual images in June 08 with a further 500 images being released each subsequent month. The collection will be around 5,000 images by the end of the year. Speaking about the Glow Images RM collection, Simon Woodthorpe of Pepper Stark says: “In our daily conversations with distributors around the world, it is clear that high quality and niche Rights Managed collections are in demand which makes the timing of this release very important. Whilst the distribution contract will be non-exclusive, we will initially only look to work with one principal partner per territory to establish strong relationships and invest in the right marketing campaigns to make the content visible within each market”.
Glow Images already has a 50,000 Royalty Free image collection in the market which will increase significantly this year with new productions in the categories of business, travel, sports and home interiors. A new collection of around 3,000 Asian images recently produced in Beijing is also due for release. Gustavo Baez, Glow Images CEO, said that he is looking to fill the gaps in the market for niche RF image collections that other production companies ignore and also by releasing a very high- end RM collection, Glow will demonstrate its ability to attract some of the leading assignment photographers.
