PA Group (Press Association) has added international celebrity and entertainment picture agency All Action Digital to its photo stable.
‘The acquisition significantly boosts the celebrity archive and new picture production, which will be available to customers through EMPICS, PA Group’s photo licensing division’.
All Action was founded by photographer Duncan Raban in 1981, since when it has built up a roster of photographers and contacts which has enabled the company to establish an extensive and often rare archive of entertainers and high profile personalities in a variety of different settings, many of which are highly unique or unusual. In particular Raban has pioneered the return of more intimate, fly-on-the-wall celebrity photos akin to the photo shoots of the 50s and 60s when celebrity access was more relaxed. His unusual style and personality have created some truly intimate and playful photographs of artists including Tina Turner, Lionel Ritchie, The Rolling Stones, Madonna and Elton John.
