Photographic Agency

Photographic Agency
Since 1946, the photographic agency has been promoting and broadcasting the photographic material which it realizes the shots and those whose valorization is entrusted to it. It gathers collections of national museums, the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, Pompidou, Quai Branly, but also Cluny, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and regional museums such as the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille, museums of the city of Marseille, etc. Today, it manages a catalog of nearly 1.2 million digitized images, from prehistory to the present days, of which 1 million are available on its website for image professionals (publishing, press, audiovisual, products in particular), and on its general public site. The photo agency also deploys a vast network of broadcasters that extends to about fifteen countries (Germany, Central and Latin America, Canada, China, South Korea, USA, Japan ...). The Photo Agency has always been at the forefront of image technology. In recent years this evolution has resulted in a transition to all digital, the arrival of images in giga pixels - the very high definition - as well as reproductions in 3D.
