 Getty Images has been pruning its collection of distribution partners around the world to eliminate a considerable amount of overlap and duplication, according an executive who is responsible for the company's strategy in this area.
Duncan Beard said acquisitions of Digital Vision, MedioImages, Stockdisc, Stockbyte and MediaVast have left Getty Images with too many companies subdistributing various products.
The director of indirect international sales said Getty has reduced the number by about one third, leaving it with about 200 partners licensing one or more products –– royalty-free, editorial or rights-managed imagery.

Like the bell that rings an end to a primary school recess, November of 2007 served up an abrupt and important signal to marketers and communicators.
Along with its typical chill weather, the month provided a clear message –– it now is time stop playing around with trendy new ideas about long tails, crowdsourcing and user generated content.
Back-to-basics is the new marketing trend. And that almost certainly means a more professional attitude will prevail as companies purchase marketing services and products, including stock photography.

“For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.” –– Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Red Headed League
Some things in life start without a plan. Circumstances converge, time is available and the first thing you know, a career is begun.
It wasn’t my intent to begin a photography career in the little town of Elías Piña on the Dominican Republic side of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, but that is what happened.
Sometimes life gives you the time to immerse yourself in something you might otherwise have passed by.

Gary Shenk is a very happy man.
And why not?
After less five months at the helm of Corbis, Shenk claims he already foresees a day in the near future when the world's second largest stock photography distributor will show a profit. This will be no small milestone for a company that has endured 18 years of red ink. And it definitely will be a feather in the cap of this new chief executive.
"We are by far the highest growth company in the industry this year," Shenk asserted.
In a lengthy interview with The Stock Asylum, Shenk also said his company is grabbing market share from its largest rival, Getty Images. He contended that each of the company's four divisions –– Corbis, Veer, SnapVillage and rights clearances –– is positioned to become a top player in its market space. He suggested that Veer will play a major role in Corbis' growth strategy. And he said Corbis will "revolutionize" its website next year.
