Magnum Photos is a world leading photographic brand; an artist's co-operative of great diversity and distinction owned by its photographer-members.

Since 1947, Magnum Photos has maintained its original values of uncompromising excellence, truth, respect and independence, representing an idiosyncratic mix of journalist, artist and storyteller.

Our photographers share a vision to chronicle world events, people, places and culture with a powerful narrative that defies convention, shatters the status quo, redefines history and transforms lives.

Magnum Photos provides commissioning services and image licensing to a global client base of media platforms, publishers, cultural institutions, brands and advertising agencies.
