What it does
Belgaimage supplies Belgian and international news, sports and archive photographs, including partner collections. Belga offers individual image purchases, subscriptions and combinations of the two.
Search by Subject or ID, or open an event gallery from the homepage. Premium collections are separated from the general news service, which helps when a brief calls for a particular supplier’s coverage. High-resolution downloads require a Belgaimage login; Belga’s support guide also explains how its news interface directs image downloads to this portal.
The image agreement distinguishes temporary layout comps, rights-managed files and royalty-free files. Comps are for internal evaluation, while rights-managed permission is tied to the use on the invoice. Editorial material has restrictions on promotional use and alteration, and its required credit identifies the photographer, collection and Belgaimage.
Contact the agency to arrange image access around occasional purchases, a subscription or a combination suited to the publication.
