Contributors Page
Welcome to the Gallo Images Contributors Page. This page is intended to give photographers some information on Gallo Images and how to become a Contributor. Gallo Images creates and distributes dynamic digital images, footage and music especially for design professionals in the business of advertising, media and marketing in Africa, the Middle East and Brazil.
Gallo Images is the Master Delegate and representative in Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and Brazil, for Getty Images - the world’s leading image bank. Gallo Images licenses stills imagery and footage as well as creates and produces content for a number of Getty Images Collections.
Gallo Images offers you a number of revenue opportunities through which to market and license your images on a worldwide platform. At the moment our focus is to submit fresh, relevant and conceptual new imagery to our wholly-owned Rights Managed brand called Gallo Images Textbook Collection (which incorporates our Creative RM collection – formerly “cape to cairo”) and our wholly-owned Royalty-Free brand called ROOTS, both of which are image partner collections on www.gettyimages.com.
If you are interested in becoming a contributor to our ever growing creative collections,
