Visual content on all important topics

Today, it is no longer possible to imagine media without images. Their importance is constantly growing and their use is becoming increasingly diverse. This in turn requires a news agency, in addition to fulfilling its duty as a chronicler, to find the "other", the unusual motif. Together with our subsidiary dpa Picture-Alliance, we offer a comprehensive range of services for news reporting and for the use of visual content in companies, production firms, publishing houses, government agencies and foundations. Our photo teams are not only where political stakeholders, stars and starlets, business personalities and sporting greats make an appearance - we also look for motifs far from the hot spots.
