The world’s most respected photo agency.™
My good friend Jim O’Connell has, along with a bunch of other incredibly talented people, just started a new photo agency called Magnesium. He very kindly asked if I would like to be a part of it all and it’s probably fair to say I ‘bit his arm off’ in my keenness to say yes.
As an agency we have a bunch of things to work out yet, but I’m very much looking forward to gaining some clearer direction to my photography. Working on commissioned assignments and longer-term project work as well as being surrounded by some superbly talented photographers will deliver that direction in spades..
From the Magnesium site:
Magnesium Photos is a small, dynamic photo agency. Founded in Tokyo at the end of 2009, we are growing our network all over the world. We’re a network of not only photographers, but assistants, fixers, and translators who can help you get the photos you need for your project.
You can read all about us (in so far as the information that’s been collated to this point) by heading here. Alternatively, you see a roster of Mg members by heading here instead.
I’m looking forward to posting more about the venture as it evolves, and finally avoid using Flickr so much.
Thanks so much, Pete, we’re thrilled to have you aboard.
While we all love Flickr and many of us met through the site, it’s time for us to grow and create another outlet for our creativity.
In the week since we decided to do this, we’ve grown to more than 25 members in countries around the world. It’s mind-boggling the amount of talent we’ve been able to pull together and I can’t wait to see what the year holds for us.
