nice list rob, one thing new and young photographers need to understand is pick an agent who is going to “carry your karma” meaning pick someone who is going to represent you and what you are all about. its not ALWAYS about the money but about building relationships and working on cool projects. your clients are NOT the VISAS, VERIZONS, AND NIKE of the world but the Cindy Rivets, Bill Hornstein’s, Jimmy Bonner’s, and Kim Hubbard’s. and sometimes some reps forget that. thank god mine is amazing and get’s it.!!~
whats the process one goes through to find a “legit” agent. I am a ‘young photographer’ trying to get into the industry and am totally clueless….any advice?????
@andy anderson,
So well said Andy. I have been repping for about 15 years and that personal connection and shared vision with my photographers has always been what energizes me to do an even better job. A shared style of a business approach and collective creative direction is what gives us a good long term relationship. “carry your karma” is the perfect way to say it.
Rob, please put me on your list for this great site of yours.
Andrea Stern http://www.sternrep.com in LA and NY.
please add See management to your list, the photography division was established in 2007 and we have 6 photographers and a prop stylist to add to our already amazing roster of artists.
thanks for taking the time to accumulate this, very handy. also consider productionparadise.com for other work cities (and including other NY agencies).
Please add SNAP ARTISTS to your list, a division of SNAP PRODUCTIONS. http://www.snap-artists.com/Thanks!
We represent Jon Ragel, James Worrell, Deborah Ory, David Emmite, Chris Eckert, Hanspeter Schneider, John Davis and Carl Posey.
Thanks, and will we see you at LeBook Connections?
Hi –
I just came here after viewing your Promo Cards (thanks for that) and clicked on maybe about 15 to 20 of the links above to find that Every Single One started with Flash. I realize it’s a nice toy, but, are there any reps who want to put up their client’s work first (i.e., immediately) and allow the viewer to “opt in” or not to a Flash presentation? I think it was See Management that at least put up something to read.
Surely, since they want their clients’ work to stand out from the crowd, they would want their site to do so as well! I recently read a comment by some editor, somewhere, that they didn’t like Flash. I think I now understand why.
Anyway, thanks again for a really wonderful (and valuable) site here.
Forgive me for asking some seemingly obvious questions but what makes a good Agent.
I ask this simply because I am considering becoming an agent for a collective of Photographers in Johannesburg.One of the greatest issues at hand is the splits between me the would be agent and the collective ( are there hard and fast rules to this ). Secondly are there any links that have guidelines out there on how i can best protect myself and the collective at large. Or rather does anyone have any insight into this
Would love to be added to the list of agents- CA1 CA2 cornelia adams

Thank you so much for providing the photo world with your blog. I read ever post and really appreciate your insight. I wanted to see if you would consider adding the World Picture Network, http://www.worldpicturenetwork.com to your list of agents. They are a great group to work with. Thanks again, Bryce

I am sorry that my website isn’t really up and running yet. I have lots of galleries on smugmug for events that I have photographed, and some portraits as well. I have some of my fine art on http://www.thousandwords.us, but I am currently searching for a good website designer, and graphic artist. My marketing plan will(hopefully) roll out next fall!
Hi,
Your list of agencies is very comprehensive and very well selected but if you could also add what area of photography each agent specializes in like travel portraiture, etc…, it would be helpful since it is pretty hard to go through all of them to find a suitable agent for one’s style of work.
I specialize in photojournalism and travel and found aurora close to my style.
I am an emerging fashion and music photographer looking for representation in Los Angeles. Any guide/tips as to who might be suitable for me? Thanks in advance.
Over his long lifetime (He died in 1999.), our father, Lucien Aigner, created an extensive collection of photos of Europe from the 1920′s & 30′s, and after he came to the U.S., from the 40′s and 50′s in America. The entire collection is now located in Boston.
We are anxious to work with an agent who can help us to show his work and to settle the entire collection.
Hello, I represent photographers and discovered your website through livebooks
today. I was one of the first few agents to use livebooks for my agency to showcase my photographer. I have represented photographers for many years to advertising agencies and clients directly. working nationally and internationally, from our base in New York City. We would like to be included in your listing if possible. Please
tell me the procedure to follow and the costs involved. Thank you, Janice Moses
Does anyone know of any dedicated architectural/interior photographer reps? I have been shooting interiors for real estate agents and designers for over 15 years and I have shot over 2,500 homes/commercial buildings.
I’m ready to hand everything over to a manager/rep so I can concentrate on the craft instead of the business side. Most of these agents have amazing talent in their roster, but most of them concentrate on fashion and lifestyle…
Thank you in advance to anyone with any information or advice!
I am new to magazine photography. I’m trying to crossover from a portrait business. You have helped me so much and this and your other lists are amazing and haved saved me hours of searching.
I’m a travel, lifestyle and portrait photographer and I’m looking for new representation in New York. My clients have ranged from Conde Nast Traveller UK, GQ Germany to shooting the IBM annual report and many others. I’ve shot assignments in over thirty countries.
For Rob or any of the photography reps who may read this thread, a question: what exactly does “keep in touch” mean?
I’ve found this list quite helpful and have gotten a lot of positive e-mail responses to my work, but, as expected, most are not taking on new talent in this economy. Most of the responses have indicated interest in my work when then economy is better, with a request to “keep in touch”. I don’t want to pester anyone, but am not sure if that means to continue e-mailing news and such? I do want be sure these reps think of me when the time is right.
Hi, does anyone know if any of these agencies are in, or represent photographers in Portland Oregon. It seems weird, we have one fo the biggest advertising firms in the country here, but I’m having the hardest time finding photo agencies here.
Thanks for such a great listing. Please feel free to visit my art and people site above or for myarchitectural work here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickprice1

Well Hello!
I’m quite excited to see this kind of site – awesome job!
I have wanted a rep for a while now and have not known where to look. Do you have any suggestions for reps that take new (3 years exp.) photographers and are great with portfolio development. I feel I have the skills but maybe need a little direction in achieving a truly pro portfolio.
I just signed with Michael Ash Partners and Michael is great but, I don’t see them up here. Would you be able to add his agency? http://www.michaelashpartners.com
Any tips on how to get a rep I have been doing everything myself and would really love a rep. Do I market them like I would for a client I want to get?
Thank you for the nice work on “Reps” I could not help but notice that
my name and company were not included. I have been a photographer and artist rep. for forty-two years and I would like to be recognized also.

What a great resource this is. Though I have no luck in obtaining an agent, I am hopeful. Any ideas out there? A friend once told me that Artist and Marketing don’t go together. In other words, most artist have no real idea how to market themselves and earn financial resources. With that thought I am out looking for a rep. Any ideas? Direction is greatly needed.
Love the list of agencies around the world – could you add http://www.twentywentyagency.com to your list. We are a small agency based in London representing 6 photographer in UK and Holland.

I am writing this to inform you as to your brother, Sherwin’s condition.Having taken little or no, interest, I will delineate:
…he has tried desperately to get off meds
…if he is without medication, he is, schizo, paranoid, obsessive compulsive and more
…he has had little family support ( he has said I’m his family)
…I have had to stop him from working
…if he insists on working, I will ask him to leave and live in the car
…his so called friend, Steve Groobman, is nothing but a whiny wimp, who has told Sherwin he is quite capable of working
…Sherwin went to a psychiatrist today and came out looking like a ghost
…the doctor wanted to hospitolize him
…your suggestionof working at StarBucks is reflective of your self indulgent, don’t give a damn attitude
…your family history of lies, however, precludes really caring
…you, your mother and Steve Groobman are cold hearted imbeciles of the first order for not informing me 10 years ago
..well, you have to live with that it’s called pathological lying

Keep in mind, for commercial/advert work: billing periods of 180 days are common in Asia. They often expect you to cover production costs. Occasional they won’t pay at all, sometimes saying we didn’t care for the art. (:o)
Most image makers that do well there are a very high volume, because the ticket price is low – a reverse from how the west has traditionally worked.
The best tend to manage their own businesses in Asia.
@Bob, thanks, but I lived in China for nearly 2 years and know the ins and outs. I have heard there are good agents there nonetheless, and was hoping someone could put me in touch with one or two…
You didn’t mention what type of work you seek. If it is advertising, you will find the Asian branches to be even more conscious about competition and face. They live breathe and eat *awards*. The CDs keep score on boards in their offices.
Get published in CA a half dozen times, One Show, D&AD, etc. Then shop around. Getting an agent in Asia is no different than here. An image maker has to be so busy, they can’t manage without help – serious ledger of accounts.
Bottom line, why would an AD/producer call a small fish in LA when they can (and do) call Kander on a big job? I would suggest you go back to your source and ask some names of these agents. If you want a slight foot in the door (when you are ready), try to network with an independent producer if you can find a good one.

A few thoughts about big NY photo reps to photographers from a creative director with 25 years of experience. Here’s the truth that the photo reps don’t like to talk about…
I’m an experienced creative director. I was also an investor in a large bi-costal photo production company that serviced national and international clients from editorial to retail and corporate including some of the biggest names in the business. I can safely say that after 25 years in the business and working with the top agencies in Chicago, NY and LA that I’m still wondering what value a large NY photo reps ultimately brings most photographers other than their top talent who are usually their personal friends. Everyone else from lesser talent to freelance production producers and crew get the shaft. A caveat: This is not true for smaller photo reps or those that work with one, two or three photographers. The following is beyond true for the big NY photo reps…this and worse.
Not only are these large NY photo reps often impossibly rude and unreasonable to production crew and producers because they are panicked over an ever decreasing amount in photo budgets, but they skim a huge percentage out of the production budget that their clients give them right off the bat. They simply put it in their pocket and tell the client it’s for “production management” or for vague production costs which they can never identify. It’s really their own bloated NY overhead and costs to keep their top talent going. One big NY photo rep has huge fancy NY townhouse built from years of skimming on production budgets while providing no value.
Then they make freelance photo producers, talent and crews or their own full-time producers get by on less and squeeze everyone telling them that it’s a small budget and “if you do this one, we have more down the road.” Of course there never is more work for the poor production people because next time they dupe a whole new round of freelance production producers and crew.
I’ve seen one well-known NY photo rep take 35% right of the top of a production budget the minute it was wired to their account and then hire the production out to a freelancer. The rep then provide no supervision other than bitching at the freelance producer for not making it happen on the reduced budget that they skimmed from. The ultimate product was much less than it could have been and the agency and production people knew it as well as the photographer.
Photographers should remember that big photo reps make their money on their top talent. They pretty much ignore everyone else. The reality is this:
Photographers should realize that this is a new world. The internet allows for this through direct contact and the fostering of direct relationships with the decision makers that can get you work. Also photo budgets are getting way, way smaller and creatives and agency people would LOVE to cut out this worthless NY middleman. Now you as a photographer can reach creative directors and art directors yourself. You can build a far more interesting and effective personal campaign and connect with these decision makers within an agency easier than ever before in the history of advertising.
I can tell you that very agency few decision makers want to talk to photo reps. They leave that up to the agency photo buyer. The photo buyer person is usually friends with the rep and they all root for particular talent because they’re all friends. But ultimately the real decision is made by some overworked young creative director or art director who saw a cool image that a photographer did or saw something in Communication Arts Photography Annual that fit the bill of what they’re looking for. Despite the fact that the photo buyer hauls up a bunch of portfolios or sends a bunch of links from NY reps to a creative director’s and that the photo rep and photo buyer think that creatives are carefully considering each book or link, it’s not true. It’s so not true it’s laughable.
My copy writing partner and I at a huge Chicago agency used to fly through books or links so fast that we’d spend a mere few seconds on each. Usually we were looking for an image that looked like the original image that inspired us and our idea and the “look and feel” of the campaign. Most don’t fit the bill and you can tell immediately. Ultimately we go back to the photo author of the original image and hope to get him or her or we get a “wrist” photographer to create something like it in mood and style…or go back to trusted photographers who we think we can work with and create something better. Photographers that we have a personal relationship. Creative development is 100% about trusting other creative talent…not photo reps.
If we have a friend who is a photographer that helps or if we’ve seen a consistent string of interesting contacts and images from someone that we might have just pinned to a board or kept in an e-mail file…we look at those. Someone who has cultivated us, sent us postcards that were cool for example. Someone that sent us notes and kept us updated – we listened and hired. We want to work with talent we can trust and who is working with us to create great advertising or editorial. Not from some NY big-time rep or overpaid, overworked, bloated old-school photographer who’s probably hooked on coke and still thinks that old-fashioned film is better. (Yep, so many of those old guys love their coke and their photo assistants love their weed. I really get a kick out of the ego-maniacal old school photographers that treat their assistants like shit and the assistants keep coming back for more…pathetic).
Anyway, we like creative people since we are creative people. We support talent that we feel we have a part in and can trust and who are cool and on our same page. Photo reps are usually frustrated, over-worked, stressed people who always seem a little shady and or desperate to agency creative people. And when you know the back story that your client’s production budget is being eaten up by their high overhead and fancy NY offices, you’re even more turned off. That production budget should go back into your idea and making the production top notch for your client…and paying more to the photographer, the person who makes it happen for you.
Oh, did I mention that these big agents take a huge percentage from the photographer’s fee as well as the production budget. As I said, most jobs are booked not through efforts of reps but through being published and through relationships the photographer has with creatives at agencies and magazines. So why do they take such huge fees? Because the make photographers think that they can’t live without them. That they are “artists” and they will take care of the business and marketing stuff so you can concentrate on photography. Yeah, the big photographers need this but the small guys do not. 99% of photographers would be way better off with getting a partner/sales/marketer in their own business or creating an alliance with a smaller photo rep so they could control their destiny and benefit from more of the money.
There will be a day that the big NY reps will be like typesetters. It’s happening now. Younger creative talent often goes directly to younger creative photographers and completely bypasses the middle men and women of photo representatives. Creative and production budgets are smaller than ever and technology is allowing younger talent to do amazing things that you used to have to hire top talent to do. Younger talent needs to be business savvy. This IS a business and you cannot ignore it and hope someone else will make it all happen. Sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn’t happen that way. You are building a business. If you get published and noticed by big reps, give it a shot – you do never know. But get published and get out there and give yourself some power and control over your own destiny. No one else cares about you other than you.
I’d say that young photographers should develop a unique, focused style – mood, lighting, etc. that is truly of them and that they are passionate about. Then send out postcards and e-mails and get on to creative blogs like crazy. Get published. Network in any way you can with young art directors and creative directors. Show them you can help them make their ideas into a reality. THEY are your ultimate clients. And they are the people that do not like talking to middlemen. This is a tough business and NY big time reps are not the future or the answer. Agencies and brands want to meet and work with the real deal…passionate talent. They want personal connections from that talent, not from photo reps. Take your own fate into your own hands and don’t rely on the fictional magic bullet of a dying breed of NY based middlemen. It’s a new day!

I am a Dallas based fashion and commercial photographer currently seeking representation with an agency who is currently taking on new emerging photographers in the field. Fashion and editorial photography is definitely my passion and I would love to work with an agency that shares this same passion, helps foster the growth of emerging photographers, and seeks a strong two-way relationship with their photographers.
If anyone can recommend any agencies who are currently looking for emerging fashion photographers or can lend any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for the information. I’m wondering if anyone knows of photography agencies in the Raleigh, NC area. I’ve been looking around here, but not sure exactly where to start. Any info on the topic would be a world of good.

I am in somewhat of a UNIQUE situation. I am an architectural photographer based in the Chicago area currently working freelance with no representation.
The reason I say I am in a UNIQUE situation is because of my specialty in architecture. Most Reps on this site are fashion/advertising/commercial.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a few Reps that work with architectural photographers or would like to?
I have 10 years experience in visual media and and education in architectural photography from the world renowned Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA.
Please take a look at my website and feel free to shoot me a quick e-mail.
Thanks a Ton!

I hear that lol but we cant give up!
defacto is amazing, wow. thank you for introducing me to this.
Thanks for a great site!
Brian Keith
nice list rob, one thing new and young photographers need to understand is pick an agent who is going to “carry your karma” meaning pick someone who is going to represent you and what you are all about. its not ALWAYS about the money but about building relationships and working on cool projects. your clients are NOT the VISAS, VERIZONS, AND NIKE of the world but the Cindy Rivets, Bill Hornstein’s, Jimmy Bonner’s, and Kim Hubbard’s. and sometimes some reps forget that. thank god mine is amazing and get’s it.!!~
hey andy,
whats the process one goes through to find a “legit” agent. I am a ‘young photographer’ trying to get into the industry and am totally clueless….any advice?????
@andy anderson,
So well said Andy. I have been repping for about 15 years and that personal connection and shared vision with my photographers has always been what energizes me to do an even better job. A shared style of a business approach and collective creative direction is what gives us a good long term relationship. “carry your karma” is the perfect way to say it.
Rob, please put me on your list for this great site of yours.

Hi –
I just came here after viewing your Promo Cards (thanks for that) and clicked on maybe about 15 to 20 of the links above to find that Every Single One started with Flash. I realize it’s a nice toy, but, are there any reps who want to put up their client’s work first (i.e., immediately) and allow the viewer to “opt in” or not to a Flash presentation? I think it was See Management that at least put up something to read.
Surely, since they want their clients’ work to stand out from the crowd, they would want their site to do so as well! I recently read a comment by some editor, somewhere, that they didn’t like Flash. I think I now understand why.
Anyway, thanks again for a really wonderful (and valuable) site here.

Forgive me for asking some seemingly obvious questions but what makes a good Agent.
I ask this simply because I am considering becoming an agent for a collective of Photographers in Johannesburg.One of the greatest issues at hand is the splits between me the would be agent and the collective ( are there hard and fast rules to this ). Secondly are there any links that have guidelines out there on how i can best protect myself and the collective at large. Or rather does anyone have any insight into this
some sound advise would be appreciated

Hello!
I am sorry that my website isn’t really up and running yet. I have lots of galleries on smugmug for events that I have photographed, and some portraits as well. I have some of my fine art on http://www.thousandwords.us, but I am currently searching for a good website designer, and graphic artist. My marketing plan will(hopefully) roll out next fall!
Would love sending you a disc. Let me know,
My best,
Cynthia
Hi,
Your list of agencies is very comprehensive and very well selected but if you could also add what area of photography each agent specializes in like travel portraiture, etc…, it would be helpful since it is pretty hard to go through all of them to find a suitable agent for one’s style of work.
I specialize in photojournalism and travel and found aurora close to my style.
Thanks and regards,
Ayush
@Ayush Ranka, I am with you, I have been perusing through this list with pink eye trying to find a viable Agent!
It would be nice if Rob could place Specialties next to agency even if time consuming..
Thank you for putting this list together. You have done a great service to photographers looking for representation.

Over his long lifetime (He died in 1999.), our father, Lucien Aigner, created an extensive collection of photos of Europe from the 1920′s & 30′s, and after he came to the U.S., from the 40′s and 50′s in America. The entire collection is now located in Boston.
We are anxious to work with an agent who can help us to show his work and to settle the entire collection.

Hello, I represent photographers and discovered your website through livebooks
today. I was one of the first few agents to use livebooks for my agency to showcase my photographer. I have represented photographers for many years to advertising agencies and clients directly. working nationally and internationally, from our base in New York City. We would like to be included in your listing if possible. Please
tell me the procedure to follow and the costs involved. Thank you, Janice Moses
@Janice Moses,
The first to Live Books and the *last* to the temple of APE…
Does anyone know of any dedicated architectural/interior photographer reps? I have been shooting interiors for real estate agents and designers for over 15 years and I have shot over 2,500 homes/commercial buildings.
I’m ready to hand everything over to a manager/rep so I can concentrate on the craft instead of the business side. Most of these agents have amazing talent in their roster, but most of them concentrate on fashion and lifestyle…
Thank you in advance to anyone with any information or advice!

For Rob or any of the photography reps who may read this thread, a question: what exactly does “keep in touch” mean?
I’ve found this list quite helpful and have gotten a lot of positive e-mail responses to my work, but, as expected, most are not taking on new talent in this economy. Most of the responses have indicated interest in my work when then economy is better, with a request to “keep in touch”. I don’t want to pester anyone, but am not sure if that means to continue e-mailing news and such? I do want be sure these reps think of me when the time is right.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the e-mailed response, Rob. Much appreciated.

What a great resource this is. Though I have no luck in obtaining an agent, I am hopeful. Any ideas out there? A friend once told me that Artist and Marketing don’t go together. In other words, most artist have no real idea how to market themselves and earn financial resources. With that thought I am out looking for a rep. Any ideas? Direction is greatly needed.
Thanks in advance.

I am writing this to inform you as to your brother, Sherwin’s condition.Having taken little or no, interest, I will delineate:
…he has tried desperately to get off meds
…if he is without medication, he is, schizo, paranoid, obsessive compulsive and more
…he has had little family support ( he has said I’m his family)
…I have had to stop him from working
…if he insists on working, I will ask him to leave and live in the car
…his so called friend, Steve Groobman, is nothing but a whiny wimp, who has told Sherwin he is quite capable of working
…Sherwin went to a psychiatrist today and came out looking like a ghost
…the doctor wanted to hospitolize him
…your suggestionof working at StarBucks is reflective of your self indulgent, don’t give a damn attitude
…your family history of lies, however, precludes really caring
…you, your mother and Steve Groobman are cold hearted imbeciles of the first order for not informing me 10 years ago
..well, you have to live with that it’s called pathological lying
copies…13
Anybody know of a good rep in Shanghai, China, or greater Asia? I am starting to look for someone out there…
@Ben Miller,
Keep in mind, for commercial/advert work: billing periods of 180 days are common in Asia. They often expect you to cover production costs. Occasional they won’t pay at all, sometimes saying we didn’t care for the art. (:o)
Most image makers that do well there are a very high volume, because the ticket price is low – a reverse from how the west has traditionally worked.
The best tend to manage their own businesses in Asia.
@Bob, thanks, but I lived in China for nearly 2 years and know the ins and outs. I have heard there are good agents there nonetheless, and was hoping someone could put me in touch with one or two…
@Ben Miller,
The input is not without experience in Asia.
You didn’t mention what type of work you seek. If it is advertising, you will find the Asian branches to be even more conscious about competition and face. They live breathe and eat *awards*. The CDs keep score on boards in their offices.
Get published in CA a half dozen times, One Show, D&AD, etc. Then shop around. Getting an agent in Asia is no different than here. An image maker has to be so busy, they can’t manage without help – serious ledger of accounts.
Bottom line, why would an AD/producer call a small fish in LA when they can (and do) call Kander on a big job? I would suggest you go back to your source and ask some names of these agents. If you want a slight foot in the door (when you are ready), try to network with an independent producer if you can find a good one.

The Axis web site in the UK is subsidized in a way that enables it to have maximum visibility to agents and others. Each photographer or artist can subscribe to have a page and up to 30 images. It might be worthwhile for young photographers’ to have a look at it. I have used it for a considerable period and found it very useful.
I am representating two talented photographers. This just new endevenor just naturally fell in my lap. I have gotten them some exposure and working on some more ideas. I have the enery, and the ability to network and bring people together, besides having great business sense and ability to push opportuntities.
Your websites is inspiring and I realize artist need and business person that trully loves their work and the carm–gets them.
Can anyone help me with some contract help i.e., my commission if their work is in galleries, non-commissioned venues, art exhibits, etc.
any help would be appreciated thanks,

A few thoughts about big NY photo reps to photographers from a creative director with 25 years of experience. Here’s the truth that the photo reps don’t like to talk about…
I’m an experienced creative director. I was also an investor in a large bi-costal photo production company that serviced national and international clients from editorial to retail and corporate including some of the biggest names in the business. I can safely say that after 25 years in the business and working with the top agencies in Chicago, NY and LA that I’m still wondering what value a large NY photo reps ultimately brings most photographers other than their top talent who are usually their personal friends. Everyone else from lesser talent to freelance production producers and crew get the shaft. A caveat: This is not true for smaller photo reps or those that work with one, two or three photographers. The following is beyond true for the big NY photo reps…this and worse.
Not only are these large NY photo reps often impossibly rude and unreasonable to production crew and producers because they are panicked over an ever decreasing amount in photo budgets, but they skim a huge percentage out of the production budget that their clients give them right off the bat. They simply put it in their pocket and tell the client it’s for “production management” or for vague production costs which they can never identify. It’s really their own bloated NY overhead and costs to keep their top talent going. One big NY photo rep has huge fancy NY townhouse built from years of skimming on production budgets while providing no value.
Then they make freelance photo producers, talent and crews or their own full-time producers get by on less and squeeze everyone telling them that it’s a small budget and “if you do this one, we have more down the road.” Of course there never is more work for the poor production people because next time they dupe a whole new round of freelance production producers and crew.
I’ve seen one well-known NY photo rep take 35% right of the top of a production budget the minute it was wired to their account and then hire the production out to a freelancer. The rep then provide no supervision other than bitching at the freelance producer for not making it happen on the reduced budget that they skimmed from. The ultimate product was much less than it could have been and the agency and production people knew it as well as the photographer.
Photographers should remember that big photo reps make their money on their top talent. They pretty much ignore everyone else. The reality is this:
Photographers should realize that this is a new world. The internet allows for this through direct contact and the fostering of direct relationships with the decision makers that can get you work. Also photo budgets are getting way, way smaller and creatives and agency people would LOVE to cut out this worthless NY middleman. Now you as a photographer can reach creative directors and art directors yourself. You can build a far more interesting and effective personal campaign and connect with these decision makers within an agency easier than ever before in the history of advertising.
I can tell you that very agency few decision makers want to talk to photo reps. They leave that up to the agency photo buyer. The photo buyer person is usually friends with the rep and they all root for particular talent because they’re all friends. But ultimately the real decision is made by some overworked young creative director or art director who saw a cool image that a photographer did or saw something in Communication Arts Photography Annual that fit the bill of what they’re looking for. Despite the fact that the photo buyer hauls up a bunch of portfolios or sends a bunch of links from NY reps to a creative director’s and that the photo rep and photo buyer think that creatives are carefully considering each book or link, it’s not true. It’s so not true it’s laughable.
My copy writing partner and I at a huge Chicago agency used to fly through books or links so fast that we’d spend a mere few seconds on each. Usually we were looking for an image that looked like the original image that inspired us and our idea and the “look and feel” of the campaign. Most don’t fit the bill and you can tell immediately. Ultimately we go back to the photo author of the original image and hope to get him or her or we get a “wrist” photographer to create something like it in mood and style…or go back to trusted photographers who we think we can work with and create something better. Photographers that we have a personal relationship. Creative development is 100% about trusting other creative talent…not photo reps.
If we have a friend who is a photographer that helps or if we’ve seen a consistent string of interesting contacts and images from someone that we might have just pinned to a board or kept in an e-mail file…we look at those. Someone who has cultivated us, sent us postcards that were cool for example. Someone that sent us notes and kept us updated – we listened and hired. We want to work with talent we can trust and who is working with us to create great advertising or editorial. Not from some NY big-time rep or overpaid, overworked, bloated old-school photographer who’s probably hooked on coke and still thinks that old-fashioned film is better. (Yep, so many of those old guys love their coke and their photo assistants love their weed. I really get a kick out of the ego-maniacal old school photographers that treat their assistants like shit and the assistants keep coming back for more…pathetic).
Anyway, we like creative people since we are creative people. We support talent that we feel we have a part in and can trust and who are cool and on our same page. Photo reps are usually frustrated, over-worked, stressed people who always seem a little shady and or desperate to agency creative people. And when you know the back story that your client’s production budget is being eaten up by their high overhead and fancy NY offices, you’re even more turned off. That production budget should go back into your idea and making the production top notch for your client…and paying more to the photographer, the person who makes it happen for you.
Oh, did I mention that these big agents take a huge percentage from the photographer’s fee as well as the production budget. As I said, most jobs are booked not through efforts of reps but through being published and through relationships the photographer has with creatives at agencies and magazines. So why do they take such huge fees? Because the make photographers think that they can’t live without them. That they are “artists” and they will take care of the business and marketing stuff so you can concentrate on photography. Yeah, the big photographers need this but the small guys do not. 99% of photographers would be way better off with getting a partner/sales/marketer in their own business or creating an alliance with a smaller photo rep so they could control their destiny and benefit from more of the money.
There will be a day that the big NY reps will be like typesetters. It’s happening now. Younger creative talent often goes directly to younger creative photographers and completely bypasses the middle men and women of photo representatives. Creative and production budgets are smaller than ever and technology is allowing younger talent to do amazing things that you used to have to hire top talent to do. Younger talent needs to be business savvy. This IS a business and you cannot ignore it and hope someone else will make it all happen. Sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn’t happen that way. You are building a business. If you get published and noticed by big reps, give it a shot – you do never know. But get published and get out there and give yourself some power and control over your own destiny. No one else cares about you other than you.
I’d say that young photographers should develop a unique, focused style – mood, lighting, etc. that is truly of them and that they are passionate about. Then send out postcards and e-mails and get on to creative blogs like crazy. Get published. Network in any way you can with young art directors and creative directors. Show them you can help them make their ideas into a reality. THEY are your ultimate clients. And they are the people that do not like talking to middlemen. This is a tough business and NY big time reps are not the future or the answer. Agencies and brands want to meet and work with the real deal…passionate talent. They want personal connections from that talent, not from photo reps. Take your own fate into your own hands and don’t rely on the fictional magic bullet of a dying breed of NY based middlemen. It’s a new day!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a few Reps that work with architectural photographers or would like to?
I have 10 years experience in visual media and and education in architectural photography from the world renowned Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA.
