Imagestate, a leading worldwide provider of rights-managed and royalty -free photography, is pleased to announce that it has signed an important distribution deal with Hachette Filipacchi Photos (HFP), a subsidiary of Hachette Filipacchi Media (one of the world’s leading magazine publishers) to market and distribute photography from their renowned historical, editorial and news collections.
Under the terms of the agreement, Imagestate has been named the exclusive licensee for the stock images provided by Hachette Filipacchi Photos (“HFP”) for the US, Canada, and the UK. The US and UK will represent images from a variety of Hachette collections including Hachette Illustration, Hoa-Qui, Jacana, Top, Explorer and Rapho. The US will also represent select images from Gamma and Keystone.
Examples of the photography which will be available through Imagestate include:
- World events – the explosion of the Hindenburg over New York; Concorde – from prototype to flight; the Cannes Film Festival; both world wars and major political events.
- Celebrity material ranging from the British Royal Family to Elvis Presley.
- Award-winning and famous images, such as “The Kiss” from Robert Doisneau.
As an additional part of the deal, HFP will distribute photography from Imagestate’s collections in France.
The deal follows the successful launch of Imagestate’s new web site www.imagestate.com and integrated back office information systems which have streamlined the company’s operations, and provide for a much improved customer experience. This new platform creates a strong foundation for Imagestate to add important collections such as these to its already broad collection of images.
“Imagestate is very excited and proud to be partnering with HFP,” added Leslie Hughes, Imagestate’s CEO. “This collaboration will offer clients a deep and rich source for their photographic needs, and further positions Imagestate as a fresh, alternative source for high-quality photography.”
Jacques Galvani, General Director of HFP commented, “This collaboration with Imagestate brings together the best of our editorial content with Imagestate’s broad range of photography, creating a truly powerful offering for clients.”
