PictureArts Expands Collection Offerings with IBid Partnership

PictureArts, the leading provider of specialty images for professional communicators, announced today an exclusive worldwide partnership with Ibid, a high-end rights-managed photography company based in Evanston, Illinois. Ibid is the fifth specialty image collection represented by PictureArts.
Through a number of specialty image collections such as FoodPix, Botanica, Nonstock and Brand X Pictures, PictureArts distributes original rights-managed and royalty-free imagery worldwide. The partnership with Ibid highlights PictureArts’ ability to provide high-profile exposure and distribute content from other photography companies, and further strengthens PictureArts’ continued commitment to seek out fresh and distinct content.
Founded in 1966 as an exclusively black and white collection, Ibid is known for its evocative portraits and conceptual images. More recently, the company expanded its offerings to include select color photography. Of the new relationship with PictureArts, Eve Pellegrino, Vice President of Ibid, said, “It is great to finally find a company that understands the needs of both the client and the photographer by offering something unique in the marketplace.”
“PictureArts is excited about working with Ibid,” said Jeffrey Burke, President and CEO of PictureArts. “The partnership with Ibid adds a unique, high-quality body of work to PictureArts’ growing portfolio of specialized collections. This relationship will provide Ibid with more exposure and revenue outlets, and PictureArts’ large distribution network with new material previously unavailable from any source. Because both PictureArts and Ibid share a philosophy that is founded on a mutual respect for photographers and their art, this new partnership makes perfect sense,” stated Burke.
Ibid images can be found at www.picturearts.com/ibid.
