Profile
Born from a union of Parisian and New York photographic thought, ic worldwide was formed international in character and universal by nature. United in a belief that the power, beauty, and emotion of photography is a visual extension of the photographer. Bound by the certainty that the force of numbers cannot surpass the impact and virtuosity of a single image. Together these beliefs would act as the foundation of a new relationship between photographer, agency, esthetic, and creative giving form to a new paradigm of what stock photography can and should be in its purest form.
From its inception, ic.worldwide would be defined and differentiated by its three primary reasons for being: Provide a forum where each photographer and collection is treated with an innate respect and given the individuality and the freedom to tell its own story. Give creatives, of like mind and temperament, an independent source of RM content found in no other location. Build a collection of emotionally pure photography, unique in manner and provocative in imagination, that is unified in the taste and sensibilities of ic.worldwide across a myriad of subjects, styles, genres and categories.
With this ideal in mind, during the winter of 2007, the PhotoAlto Agency, in collaboration with industry pioneer Jerry Tavin, decided to pool their collective talents, resources and experiences in order to turn their vision of the future of RM stock photography into a reality. In 2008 these goals were realized and a new "oasis for distinguished photographers" was formed with the launch of ic.worldwide.
