Title: Asian Photo Agencies?
Post by: cardmaverick on November 02, 2009, 10:20

Does anyone know of any Asian based photo agencies that service countries like Japan, China, etc... ? I know all the major US/European agencies offer their sties in those languages, but I'm looking for agencies that are literally based in Asia and sell to Asia.

Thanks!

You should contact Unlistedimages Inc. They have feeds for such agencies. Thus, I don't believe they are interested in microstock... They prefer macro authors.

Just to add if you are microstocker: Canstockphoto has Fotosearch which reaches Japan.
I hope it helps.

123RF sells Microstock into Asia (part of Inmagine.com). Some other players are:

Panorama
Imagine China
Oriental touch
Argus photo

I'm not sure which one does microstock of those 4

Thanks for the leads guys! I actually have seen Blue Jeans Images - I tried contacting them about contributing but the email came back as having failed to deliver.

Fastmediamacro, how did you get involved with Asian Images? I've also run into them as well but have not really found much on contributing to their collection.

Thanks!

Update - I just realized that Blue Jeans Images misspelled their email! LOL - I can't believe I missed that for this long...

Hi again,

I worked with Alex, the founder as a consultant/interim MD for the first half of this year to help set out the long term plans for the company.

When I left I started my Stock photography news site and forum. Asia Images is foremost a production company but they do have some increased focus on direct sales in Asia. If you want Alex or Sarah's (creative director) email adress I can dig that up for you.
