Action Images founder David Jacobs acquires London Features picture agency
Press Gazette reporter Rachael Gallagher is reporting that the picture agency London Features has been acquired by Action Images founder and noteworthy sports photographer David Jacobs. LFI is Jacobs’ first major acquisition after selling Action Images to Reuters in 2005. Jacobs’ investment vehicle, Imvest Ltd, acquired the agency after the company went into administration last month following a law suit that was taken out for a potential breach of copyright by one of the contributing photographers.
“It has a marvellous brand, I remember as a 17 year old messenger going past their offices in Farringdon Road, there was always a massive buzz about them. I’d like to get them back to where they were, which was one of the most successful music, celebrity and entertainment picture agencies.” stated Jacobs
