What it does
NurPhoto is an editorial photography agency with news galleries, a current wire and archive research services. Images are licensed for specific media, territories, durations and publication scales.
Use an event gallery to see a photograph alongside the surrounding coverage, or filter the search by news category and media type. The research team can prepare a selection and verify captions, metadata and licensing documentation.
Photos can be bought directly or through prepaid credits that do not expire. The listed Standard pack costs EUR 139 once for 125 credits, excluding VAT; a Small Web & Digital licence uses 42 credits. Buying credits requires an account, and the number of usable photographs depends on the chosen licence rather than the credit total alone.
Editorial terms permit proportional resizing and necessary format conversion, but prohibit substantive changes, AI alterations and crops that change meaning or context. Credit must name NurPhoto and the photographer. A fixed-term licence requires removal or renewal at expiry, and publication beyond the agreed territory, circulation or other limits needs an upgraded licence.
