European Pressphoto Agency B.V. is an international news photo agency.
Images from all parts of the world covering news, politics, sports, business, finance as well as arts, culture and entertainment are provided by a global network of over 400 professional photographers and included in the epa news photo service. The epa picture service is based both on the broad network of epa's staff photographers all over the world and on the daily production of its member agencies, which are all market leaders in their respective countries. All photos are edited and distributed to clients and partners worldwide by the editorial headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, which is staffed 24 hours daily.
epa built up a reputation for reliable, independent and unique photo coverage.
The international picture service of epa is used by diverse media as well as epa's partners and shareholders worldwide. At present epa’s editorial service offers approximately 1,100 new images on an average day.
The service includes photographs in the areas of news; sports; arts, culture and entertainment; economy; human interest; and science.
The epa photo archive dates back to 1997 and has about three million images on stock, the majority of which can be accessed online.
epa was founded in 1985 by seven European news agencies. The agencies, AFP of France, ANP of the Netherlands, ANOP (now Lusa) of Portugal, ANSA of Italy, Belga of Belgium, dpa of Germany and EFE of Spain were motivated by what they saw as a lack of alternatives to the Anglo-Saxon picture services offered at the time.
