Image Source to distribute World Portraits photo collection
World Portraits, a rights-managed collection, will have access to clients around the globe through Image Source’s extensive distribution network. “I am thoroughly delighted to work with such a unique offering as World Portraits”, said Christina Vaughan, Image Source Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “They are harnessing creativity and the commercial world to directly make a difference to the lives of the sitters. It’s social entrepreneurship, which allows profits to be shared.”
van Beek accepts imagery from photographers all over the world. Majority World, a new global initiative to champion the cause of indigenous photographers from the developing world, is a contributor and also arranges productions in non-western countries. While on location, a photographer has the model release form signed by the person being photographed. Bank details are noted and put into the contract, which is translated beforehand for the country visited. The collection has been processed, enhanced and quality controlled by Stephen Johnson of digital imaging consultancy, Copyrightimage Ltd.
“The people that are photographed are not professional models, but ordinary people that sign a model release contract on the spot”, explained Bas. “World Portraits stands for photographed people sharing in the profits; pure photography with no make up or styled environments; and all images properly model released with payment details captured. The collection presents fresh, compelling imagery that features real people and real issues.”
