In more than 60 years of activity, we have learned many things and have gained precious competence in the complex field of not only photographic rights, but also of artist, personalities, third parties, and derivative rights. In addition to guaranteeing the photographic rights of the files we provide, we can also act as consultants so you do not have to go crazy looking for right holders and thus you need not harbor doubts and worries about possible future problems.
