| When the United Nations approached us recently about sourcing a range of specific bird images for a brochure to highlight CITES-listed endangered species, our photographers took the challenge in their stride. Within a short period of time our photographers supplied images which were not only stunning, but also covered every single species which the UN needed, no matter how rare, remote or elusive. At Photographers Direct we are proud to have our photographers' images chosen for this worthy cause - please take a look at a selection of the wonderful bird images our photographers submitted. If you are having trouble finding images of specific subjects, our Picture Search service really does get results! Photographers Direct. Run by photographers, for photographers. Here is the latest news from some of our photographers: |

Majority World™, the socially responsible photographers agency, announces major expansion . . . . Inspiring images, responsibly sourced. MAJORITY WORLD™ is a picture agency with a difference. It promotes the work of talented local photographers of the majority world – Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East - enabling them to gain a fairer share of the global image market. Their work is often overlooked through inadequate access to the market, or when organisations fly in western photographers for assignments rather than choosing to use and nurture local talent. It also increasingly reveals the unique insider perspective that comes from local photographers’ images and stories. MAJORITY WORLD™ is pleased to announce that it has secured vital new start up investment from Stichting DOEN in the Netherlands, as well as from two of its founder directors. As a result of this vote of confidence, MAJORITY WORLD™ can now embark on an ambitious expansion plan. A full time team is under recruitment to provide the expertise and dynamism needed to boost growth, which in turn will translate directly into increasing commission payments to majority world economies.
