An independent agency, built in the field

The agency

NurPhoto was founded in 2013 by photojournalist Manuel Romano. The agency's aim is to give light to the stories, places and events capable of affecting the viewer, to raise questions rather than suggesting answers.

NurPhoto introduced its video news service, EditorialFootage.com, in addition to its consolidated photo reporting activity, to document events with an increasingly up-to-date communication code.

Thanks to the work of its reporters and its international network, NurPhoto guarantees a video production that includes b-roll and produced content across breaking news, politics, economy, foreign affairs, sports and entertainment. Footage is available to be licensed for TV programmes, documentaries, film, educational projects, corporate film, web-based projects and more.

Our history

NurPhoto Agency is one of the world's largest independent press agencies and wire services. The company and its photographers have received numerous awards, including the World Press Photo and Pictures of the Year International.

A benchmark for quality photography, NurPhoto works more than 2,500 photos per day in digital on major news, politics, economics, sports and entertainment around the world. Its broad range of activities — production and distribution of images for journalism, corporate and advertising communication, fashion and publishing, archives and online access — is made possible by various international partners.

A multi-cultural view

NurPhoto is a global, multicultural and interactive agency — a nexus of adaptivity and evolution of new and existing technologies. Its photographers and videographers work toward a common objective: a unique visual offering in which images take on an essential role as sources of information and as powerful sources of emotion.
