What it does
Agence VU’ represents photographers and distributes archival images alongside commissioned work. Its archive includes documentary stories, individual photographs, keyword and media-number search, and lightboxes.
Browse a photographer’s series on the public site before moving to the Archive Database for individual image research. The archive search accepts a term or media number, offers French and English search choices, and can narrow an existing result set through Search within results. My Lightboxes provides a place for selected candidates.
The Contacts page separates Editorial & NGO enquiries from Corporate & Advertising and cultural projects. Those routes are useful when a photograph’s proposed use crosses from a news story into a campaign, exhibition or publication. The archive is distinct from VU’s shop for books and collector’s prints.
Strengths
- Story and photographer routes preserve author and series context.
