Hi
I would like to use some famous 'news' and 'historic' photos in a new
board game. For example 'The Moon Landing' '1966 World Cup Final'
'Elvis' 'Concorde' and many others along those lines, including famous
adverts eg Coke.
Who do I contact for permission to use these photos and how are fees
worked out? I'm based in the UK
Thank you |

Hello,
Perhaps I can....help, that is.
There are a number of agencies that have massive collections of
well-known photographs, and make these available on a licensing basis.
The fees depend on the photo(s) and on the type of use intended for
them.
As an example, one such service is Corbis:
http://pro.corbis.com/
Have a look at their site. If it seems useful, I'll be glad to post a
few more links to such services as an answer to your question. That
way, you can shop around a bit!
Let me know.

Hi
Thank you for your post - yes that is the type of thing I need. But I
really need the places that have the historic news photos covering the
main events like - Moon Landing, 1966 World Cup, Thatcher, Elvis,
Falklands War, Nasa Shuttle etc..
If you know where I can find those famous photos and others please let me know.
Thank you

I'm glad you seemed to like the type of service at Corbis, and I also
know where you can find famous historic photos....at Corbis!
Please go back to the site:
http://pro.corbis.com/
In the upper left hand part of the page is a search box. If you
enter: [ 1966 World Cup ] you'll get thumbnail pictures of more than
40 pictures of England defeating Germany. Enter [ Elvis ] and you'll
get more than 1,000 pictures, and another 1000 for [ coca cola ].
Clicking on any small picture will take you to a larger version that
you can view in detail.
I'm sure you'll find pictures of virtually any famous
event/person/thing from the modern age. And like I said earlier,
there are other services that can do the same.
Should I list the ones I know about as an answer to your question...?
