Uh-oh?!? What does the acquisition mean for photographers and users?

Well, the day before yesterday’s news came as quite a surprise. Getty Images, one of the world’s leading stock content providers, acquired Unsplash, which is known for its free image policy. A second look at the calendar confirmed that it wasn’t April 1^st yet. Accordingly, there is no reason to believe we’re being fooled.

In the wake of this news, our team sat down this morning to have a cup of coffee and share our thoughts about the acquisition.

Okay, that’s a little weird. A blog article on stock images that is about Snow White? While it may seem a little odd at first, the connection is almost self-explanatory.

Once an image is on the Internet, it may well take paths that are as complicated as they are strange. The Hamburg-based agency Die Bildbeschaffer followed the trails of an image that shows a polar bear and was made available via the database of the renowned Alfred Wegener Institute. Now it is being sold as a rights-managed image – without the consent of the photographer. A case study that tells a lot about the care applied when handling image rights.
