Verbatim,Agencies & Photo Libraries,New York,USA

Previously a part of Getty Images, Verbatim is an agency representing internationally renowned photojournalists and videographers who are not only highly experienced in photojournalism, but also adept at commercial and advertising photography. Collectively they have been assigned by all of the major publications globally and received every prestigious editorial industry award.

Verbatim has created a worldwide network of over 700 photographers and videographers in 70+ countries, who cover a full range of visual disciplines between them. The team at Verbatim worked together for over 10 years with photographers and videographers – previously within Getty Images Reportage who remain Verbatim’s key investors and partners.

Led by Aidan Sullivan, a former photo editor at the Sunday Times Magazine, Reportage has represented some of the world’s most respected photographers from Tom Stoddart to Lynsey Addario and Brent Stirton among many others. With the launch of Verbatim, Getty Reportage will cease to represent them – at least for editorial assignments.

Verbatim specializes in handling stills and video projects for international corporate clients, commercial agency clients, as well as NGO and foundation initiatives. Verbatim will also launch a fund to finance the editorial work of his photographers, echoing Magnum Photos’ move to self-fund its own editorial projects.

The company has offices in New York and London.
