Photo Researchers

Photo Researchers Inc is a picture agency located in New York City that has been in business since 1957. It archives over a half-million science and nature photos and illustrations. Over half of this material can be located in a searchable, online database, which is also available through 38 other picture libraries around the world. Four thousand images are added to the digital db archive every month.

The agency represents thousands of scientific and natural history photographers, and specializes in researching, locating, acquiring and licensing, nature, science and bio-medical imagery. Science Source contains thousands of images taken by Light, a [Transmission Electron Microscope, and a Scanning Electron Microscope. Nature Source is comprised of the original image collection of the National Audubon Society and also represents hundreds of international nature photographers. Andy Warhol referenced photos from this archive for his 1983 series on endangered species.

Photo Researcher’s images are widely used by technical and textbook publishers, newspapers and magazines, as well as broadcast and Internet media. They are a resource for commercial art buyers, hospitals and HMOs, scientists, physicians, educators, and students. They also provide material to universities (e.g., MIT, Harvard University and John Hopkins) and museums (e.g., The American Museum of Natural History, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Field Museum of Natural History).

The website can be used for research, and to license images for personal or commercial use.
