WhoSay, a ‘personal media management platform’ has announced an agreement with AP Images – the Associated Press’s commercial photo division – to enable famous artists, athletes and personalities the ability to license their own photos. Under the agreement, each time WhoSay members create new photos and videos they will be able to make that content available for licensing via AP Images. AP Images will also provide photo services at events upon request to WhoSay members who will own these images while giving AP Images the ability to license them.
“We continue to look for new ways to innovate in the social media space, and this agreement does so in the photo marketplace and with our journalists,” said Lou Ferrara, the AP managing editor who oversees the agency’s social media efforts.
