FAQ

Why different agencies?

We joined with Photonica in 1991, shortly after their US office was opened. Since then, the stock industry has evolved continuosly as have our partnerships. Each agency handles the images they represent exclusively toavoid licensing confusion. Currently, most of the imagery is being handled by the wonderful German boutique agency, Plainpicture.They have an unparalled collection, and we think they are great to work with

Can I negotiate with one agency for an image that is marketed by another?

Actually, sometimes.

Can I contact the studio directly for stock listed on this site?

Only those images that are listed as part of HideoutStock. This could create a conflict with an exclusive use that has already been negotiated.

I saw an image of yours that is not listed as stock image, but I am interested in using it. Now can I call the studio?

Absolutely. We create piles of images that are just too specific for an agency to handle or just are not available. Please call us at (614)262-0500. We will do our best to help you.

Can I "grab" an image to use in a comp?

As long as you are sincerely thinking of licensing the image later, you may certainly use the image in a comprehensive mock-up for client approval. Have fun.

Since this image is posted on the web, can't I just use it for free anywhere I want?

Go back to school and stay away from solvents.
