California home and architectural stock agency Look Photography has engaged London-based Pepper Stark to manage international distribution of the royalty-free Built Images and the rights-managed Sheltered Images collections. Pepper Stark is also representing India Picture, the Indian delegate for Corbis.
Built and Sheltered currently consist of a respective 4,500 and 3,000 images, with 500 new images added to each collection monthly. Look said that outsourcing international activities to Pepper Stark allows it to focus on image production.
In addition to managing the distribution of India Picture’s 4,000-image collection, Pepper Stark also seeks to expand the Dehli-based agency’s roster of locally represented royalty-free brands interested in targeting the Indian market.
Pepper Stark offers the global stock-photography industry consultancy, training, recruitment, distribution and content-management services. The combined experience of founders Liz Pepper and Claudia Stark includes working at companies such as Digital Vision, image100, Image Source, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Publicis and Zefa Visual Media.

Pepper Stark currently represents Alaska Stock, Assaf Frank, Emotive Images, Glow Images, Graphic Vision, The Liebhardt Collection, PhotoSpin and Stock Connection. The consultancy has also recently expanded its recruitment services to encompass the creative media sector.
