About us

Aurimages is a photographic agency specialising in art, history, heritage, literature and film. Our online archives contain over 3 million images, supplemented daily by a team of editors and photographers.

Our art collection brings together important works from the most prestigious museums around the world. Our historical collection reaches back to the Neolithic period, to Mesopotamia and early Egyptian dynasties, but equally boasts a large range of historical photographs from the 1800s, shedding light on the events of this pivotal century. In heritage, we house specialist collections on architecture, historic monuments, castles and archaeological sites and are constantly updating the material. Moreover, authors throughout the world are captured by the agency’s photographers, largely in portrait sessions. And finally, our film collections cover the entire history of cinema, from the Lumiere brothers to the present day, from east to west and from north to south.

Our team offers a research service, fulfilling requests from magazines and editors; a reproduction rights service for copyrighted and protected images and for cinema, and organises and manages access and permissions for new shoots including drone flights. As a result, Aurimages has compiled many reportages and exclusive images.

We always strive for the highest quality in our images, the shortest delivery times and the greatest flexibility in our client relationships.
