London Features International opening office in Los Angeles
London Features International (LFI) has announced that it is expanding with a new office in Los Angeles, which will open in February 2010. The new LA office will be headed up by industry veteran Clive Howes, in the capacity of Managing Editor USA. Previously Howes worked for Getty Images as their Global Workflow Manager, Clive has also worked for agencies such as Action Images and Reuters, as well as Picture Editor at national newspapers. Clive is regarded as the father of Editorial Digital Photography in the UK, getting the first live digital image used as early as 1988 and founding the first true digital agency in 1996 with Fast News Photo’s.
The LA office will be initially involved in supporting and recruiting entertainment photographers on the West Coast and will compliment LFI’s presence in New York and London. LFI CEO James Claydon states “This is another exciting development in our short month tenure of LFI, for us to work with Clive is a positive and dynamic step forward and to open an office in the home of entertainment makes perfect sense at this moment as we expand our offering to clients and contributors alike. The timing of this new venture is perfect as it coincides with the award season.
