Libraries--Photograph &/or Film

About the Libraries-Photograph & or Film heading in Yellow™

Look under this Yellow™ heading for information on photograph and film libraries. Photo libraries provide individuals, corporate clients, government organisations, and photo enthusiasts access to a multitude of photographs, videos, and video clips, whether printed or in digital formats. Picture and film libraries can be online companies or traditional photo libraries with stacks and shelves of images and films. Whether they are online or brick-and-mortar, photographic libraries will usually have images sorted in collections such as rare graphics, fine art, drawings and paintings, cartoons, colour or black and white photographs, advertisements, and short films, among others.

Photo libraries allow their clients private and commercial use of pictures and films in their collection for a certain fee. Images that will be used for commercial purposes usually cast more, compared to private use. Images and films found within these libraries are usually the work of artists, photographers, and film makers who earn a portion of the payment if their work is selected and purchased. Libraries usually provide catalogues and indexes, and online libraries incorporate search features to allow easy photo browsing and selection.

Other services that photo libraries can offer include: custom image capturing where clients specify a subject or a theme for the images they require; exclusive image use where a client pays a premium amount to have exclusive rights to a particular photograph; and professional photographer hires. Some photo libraries also have online proofing services which enable clients to view and select final photographic output before committing to expensive finals. They can also provide online preview of clips that allow clients to select the video best suited to their needs prior to making payment.
