We're an email group for professional editorial photographers who want to talk business. We don't do techie stuff. We don't do cliquey in-crowd gossip. We don't talk cameras or computers. We talk about the nuts and bolts of being in business - like copyright, licensing, fees, insurance. And, even if we say so ourselves, we do it rather well.

Panos Pictures is a London-based independent photo agency representing photojournalists worldwide. Our photographers document issues and geographical areas which are under-reported, misrepresented or ignored. In a media climate dominated by celebrity and lifestyle Panos aims to provide fresh perspectives on the world. Panos photographers are available for assignment on every continent. Their in depth knowledge of local conditions enables them to deliver even in the most difficult situations. This website allows you to search, download and purchase from our ever growing archive of digitised images. If you cannot find the image you require our experienced researchers are on hand to help you locate what you are looking for in our physical archive of over 500,000 images. Half of the profits from the agency are given to the Panos Insititute to further its work on issues around media and communications, globalisation, HIV/AIDS and environment and conflict.

Photography and storytelling are as important as they've ever been. Witness our two current feature pieces about Eugene Richards and the 2004 PDN Photo Annual. Just when you think that television has mind-numbed the brains of most people, these presentations celebrate and enforce the power of still photographs to affect people and tell great stories.
