Our customers love us

Alamy responded effectively to all my requests, for our needs for visuals from the art world, and for very specialised current events in our museum. A small, efficient and discreet team, not commercially invasive. Very attractive rates. The assistant curator of our upcoming exhibition has also contacted Alamy, indicating a confidence in the quality.

Our customers love us

We have worked with Alamy for at least a decade. Our needs vary from images of Aristotle to good civil rights shots. Alamy’s content selection is huge and varied, and I like that they have the Reuters feed. Museum licensing doesn't fit a traditional model; my current rep took on the challenge of understanding our odd uses, and worked up a rate card that works very well for us. Our MO here is "check Alamy first...." and every department knows that rule!! It's not going out on a limb to say they are my favorite stock photo agency!!
