About PantherMedia

PantherMedia is a marketplace for royalty free (RF) photography. Suppliers as well as buyers of commercial and editorial imagery meet on one shared platform consisting of a photocommunity for photographers and a stock agency for image buyers.

Agencies, publishing houses and enterprises which need images can licence photographs for their individual purposes – either as single images or through a flexible subscription plan. The revenues will be shared with photographers. This business model allows through so-called „User Generated Content” to keep the offer of RF-images far below the average market price.

PantherMedia.net is an enterprise of PantherMedia GmbH with headquarters in Munich, Germany and was founded in October 2004. At present, PantherMedia offers more than 1 million images by more than 30,000 photographers.
