FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is apply pictures ?

apply pictures is a image agency with a contemporary aesthetic.

In that apply pictures is understood not only as an image archive, but rather as a source of inspiration and partner for a creative and quality-conscious clientele.

In contrast to the trend of many competitors, we rely not on quantity. We offer with our well-appointed portfolio and our on-demand productions a real alternative to high-quality commercial photography.

We attach particular importance to a fair and sustainable pricing policy - especially in dealing with our photographers. 100 000 sunsets, creativity for sale and images for dumping prices are not our cup of tea.

From whom does [ apply pictures ] refer images?

We cooperate with differently working photographer, which arbitrarily often supply us without obligation. If you have interest in a freelance cooperation, we would be pleased to hear from you.

According to which criteria are the motifs selected?

We understand ourselves as creative and aesthetically fastidious picture agency. Thus we are in principle completely open for new. On the one hand we give our photographer as few aesthetic and topic defaults as possible, on the other hand we orient ourselves at the need of our customers. Thus we evaluate the keyword inputs of our search engine at regular intervals abd provide our photographer with the results of this analysis.

What does [ apply pictures ] expect from a photographer?

As we disassociate ourselves aesthetically and thematically strongly from our competitors, we almost exclude the typical images' archives topics. Our competitors are positioned there very well and the wheel twice to invent, make little sense. We see our chance in an energizing and up-to-date imagery.

Reasons why you should join [ apply pictures ] ?

Our photographers profit from our clear positioning. They do not go down in thousands of similar motifs of large archieves, who offer usually several millions photos. We have high quality yardsticks and we publish rather less than too much. Thus we can present the photos, which we take up, more strongly and more remarkably, than it would be possible by our competitors. Placing your images with us will guarantee that your work is presented to a large international audience of buyers.

As we supply our customers "class instead of mass", also our photographers enjoy a high reputation, which positively affects. Besides the ways are quite short with us - the time interval between selection and publication is minimal and the co-operation direct and unbureaucratically. We can react therefore many faster to the market and our photographers thereby can work many more up-to-date.

What are the technical specifications?

We accept only digital data in reasonable quality and resolution. Images of digital cameras are not suitable for a professional marketing by a picture agency, if the resolution is lower than 8 million pixel or there is strong noise or interpolation artifacts. The best for us are 12 million pixel or higher uncompressed TIF, JPG or RAW files. If you need further advise in this do not hesitate to contact us.
