Gain access to global editorial and archival content with Alamy

With over 170,000 photographers and agencies across 171 countries, Alamy has been supplying editorial content to global news organizations for over 20 years.

Their deep history of editorial presence around the world means their catalogue includes over 100 million archival images – from Francis Frith’s original slides of the Egyptian pyramids from the 1850s to the fascinating story of how an LGBTQ nightclub in Peru was turned into a supermarket during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic – so you can look back through the ages if you miss a live event. But you’ll also find over 150,000 breaking news images uploaded every day to help you keep your finger on the pulse.

When there’s this level of omnipresence, things can get overwhelming. To make the editorial process easier, there’s the usual gamut of search filters to help you uncover the story you’re looking for, however Alamy also has a team of expert picture researchers who can really speed things up for you – it’s almost like adding an extra member to your team.

The help doesn’t stop there. Alamy’s customer service is world class as they understand how plans can change or issues can arise from out of nowhere. Whether it’s the need to find new content quickly or an issue with licensing, Alamy’s knowledgeable account managers take that stress away.

Andy Bottomley, a graphic designer for the TV and film sector, knows he can lean on this service in times of need: “If I can’t find something on Alamy, I’ll say ‘Niki, can one of your people take a look? This is what I want.’ We always find a solution.”
