The Mega Agency is adding 2.5 million iconic and historic entertainment images to its rapidly expanding archive. The media company, a leading provider of news, sports and entertainment content, will now represent and license the Phil Ramey photo archive to its global customer base.
Mega – which already has an existing archive of 30million images and videos - recently launched its Mega Cloud service which aims to offer 200 million pieces of editorial content to customers by 2020.
“Mega is delighted to represent one of the world’s classic entertainment archives,” said Paul Tetley, Mega’s Chief Operating Officer.
“Phil Ramey is a legendary photographer and through the iris of his long lens he captured and chronicled the history of Hollywood during the heady days of the 70s, 80’s and 90’s. For Phil it wasn’t always the glitz and glamor of the red carpet, it was the back streets of Hollywood – Tinsel Town with its warts and all,” Tetley continued.
The Ramey collection features incredible exclusive photographs of the true greats of Hollywood – whether it be at-home shoots, their weddings, their break-ups, births, deaths and of course the many scandals.
At its peak the Ramey Photo Agency was one of the leading providers of entertainment content to the world’s media and this collection features some classics from more than 40 years of Hollywood history.
Mega launched 21-months-ago and is always looking for archives that will enrich its offering to its global customers. The Mega Cloud offers photographers and agencies a quick, easy and efficient way to upload their digital archives at scale.
