Hi
PM has good advice on Commercial images required, but what about editorial? Some agencies only want current event or "newsworthy" images. This leaves them exposed as most editorial around the world is not "newsworthy" or "current event" type imaging. The vast majority of editorial images are used to illustrate (truthful) articles, text books, web pages or other types of journals. Topics may be covered well for Europe and the US, but the world is a very big place and more non-EU/US material I'm sure will be needed increasingly in the future - the Asian region for instance is absolutely booming. In many cases these are fairly ordinary images - they illustrate a point or topic well, but they may not be "stunners".
Has PM any comment on this?
Thanks
