Las Vegas-based ethnic-stock specialist Blend Images has launched a rights-managed collection. The initial 3,000 images, shot by photographers such as Patrik Giardino, Stewart Cohen, Ronnie Kaufman and Jon Feingersh, focus on multiethnic lifestyles and business. New images will be released each month.
Blend feels that, while its royalty-free collection performs extremely well, rights-managed imagery will allow it to expand its clients’ options. The new collection offers use-based pricing, rights tracking and exclusivity—within a specific industry, territory or time period.
