About Us

We are stock photographers that travel far and wide, shooting anything and everything in order to sell on the Royalty Free Stock Market.

Currently we have about 7,000 images in our combined galleries and we have an extensive range of travel and tourism images (Winter travel, France, germany, Vienna, UK, South Africa, Mozambique) sport (superbikes, MTB, gym, bungee, windsurfing, petanque, golf, cricket, boxing) Business, people, business objects, food, architecture, beauty, weddings, day to day life, etc.

We literally shoot anything that we can because somewhere, sometime, somebody is going to need an image just like that!

Everybody we meet says that we have the most glamerous lifestyle, travel everywhere, see the world, meet new people every day. It does look that way, but that also mean that we are on the road 9months of a year, we have to sleep in another bed every few weeks, no time or place for pets or potplants. New languages and problems to deal with (I can look baffled and perplexed in 17 different languages allready - I can unfortuantely only speak three... )

In the end, we love what we do, and have built a successful business arround it.

Do you still shoot comercially for clients?

Yes we do. Basically we make a deal with our clients to shoot their internal stock (images of staff working, equipment, processes, architecture, etc) for use in their own websites, brochures, flyers and other advertising. We quote them on the job and they pay a deposit to secure our services.

After the shoot we allow the client to choose images that we can keep the copyright to, and resell as stock. These images are still supplied to the client, but they do not pay for them. This means the client can get a professional set of stock images at a very low cost (as a matter of fact, some clients have let us use all their images which means they get the shoot for free)
