about picturehouse

Launched jointly in London and New York in 2001, picturehouse is the only event of its kind that brings together the buyers and suppliers of photography, illustration and footage in city centre locations around the world. picturehouse events are the perfect place for buyers to discover great new imagery and meet the people behind the scenes, renew old contacts and forge new ones. You will find all sizes of image suppliers, from multinationals to specialist photographers, from all around the world, and covering every style of imagery from contemporary photography to historical illustration. Our New York and London events also feature footage suppliers.

We choose interesting and stylish venues, not anonymous exhibition halls. And we provide quality food and beverages (including beer and wine at larger events) throughout the day.

picturehouse events are professional (no students or casual visitors), informal, free to attend, and fun!

This is typical of the feedback we receive from our events:

“The variety of vendors there was fantastic. Not just the big players, but lots of boutique shops for medical, travel, animal, etc. I thought it was fantastic. The venue was beautiful and everyone was super nice and fun.”

Kristine A. Strom, Senior Media Editor / Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc.

“Beautiful location, lots of interesting photo agencies (some known & some unknown to me), great food, and a successful day. Agencies went out of their way to make us feel welcome, inform us about their specific niches, and to make things fun by giving away little gifts. Everyone was so pleasant and the setting was so nice that it made the whole day enjoyable. Well done.”

Sadie Quarrier / National Geographic Society

“The size of the event worked great for being able to meet and chat with representatives, and the stamp card for prizes added some fun to the whole thing, and it was in a wonderful location.”

Nicole Bogacki, Production Coordinator / Thomas P. Gohagan & Company

“This event was fun, stimulating, and a great way to learn more about stock source ... some of which my colleagues and I were not aware of.”

Stephen Frederick / Ogilvy Healthworld New York
