With the ever increasing speed of photo content demand picture editors struggle to find the time to leave their desk and visit photo agency and picture library offices – so PhotoArchiveNews.com is bringing them to you!
If you have ever wondered where the millions of photos and footage clips we license every year are edited, captioned and uploaded from – here they are – we contacted the Owners and Managing Directors of photo libraries and agencies worldwide and asked them to photograph their front doors, a few included other images, staff and interiors but it’s all good – keep ’em coming – here are the first through the door – enjoy!!

↑ Insight News & Features, Inc. (INF) 321 West 44th St,New York MD at INF dropped the photos to PAN with this note “Here are INF’s digs in midtown Manhattan. The building is owned by Jared Kushner – husband of Ivanka Trump and owner of the New York Observer newspaper. Our neighbours include P. Diddy (really). Note for music fans – the building used to house the Record Plant, where many famous albums were recorded, including Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix, Parallel Lines by Blondie, Lodger by David Bowie and The Works by Queen. John Lennon was recording Walking On Thin Ice there the day he was murdered in 1980. He was clutching a tape of the final mix when he was shot.” – loves his location!
