Title: Is Guliver Photos a stock agency or port?
Post by: Yay Images Billionaire on November 28, 2014, 01:04

I found one of my images with the copyright attribution "Източник: Thinkstock/Guliver Photos"

I assume one of my agencies filters photos down to TS as I don't submit there. But I don't get the Guliver Photos part. They are an agency in their own right. Is another agency sending photos to Guliver and then Guliver has a port on TS?

Thinkstock is a website belonging to Getty Images; non-exclusive images on iStockphoto are being mirrored to Thinkstock; Guliver Photos is a master delegate of Getty Images in Eastern Europe. Master delegates are distributing Getty's images in countries that are not easy to access from western countries (e.g. Russia, China, India).

Thanks for the explanation!
