Celebrity Images are on the Rise and in Demand
By jason - up to 2007 (archived) • May 17th, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)About The Image informs us:
“On Getty’s 1Q07 conference call with analysts, CEO Jonathan Klein said he expects the company’s celebrity photography division, though still relatively small in terms of revenue, to become more important in future quarters. The purchase of WireImage certainly shows Getty plans to make a serious foray into an area it had, up to now, ceded to Corbis. Corbis, for its part, has also made an announcement about the launch of OutlineLive, what it calls “a contemporary and fresh collection of celebrity photography” that will feature more than 35,000 images by the end of the month.
According to a press-release issued by Corbis, the demand for celebrity images has exploded as evidenced by increase of celebrity pages in magazines by 15% annually since 2001. OutlinelIve is meant to meet this growing demand with celebrity portraits and candid images available for editorial use (including online) with no publicist restrictions.”
