ZUMA Forms Exclusive Partnership with Album
Laguna Beach, CA - August 4, 2004
Today ZUMA Press announced an exclusive partnership with Album, the Barcelona-based picture library that specializes in cinematic imagery (film stills, studio portraits, making-of takes and movie posters). ZUMA now represents Album's content, dating back to 1895, exclusively in the United States and Canada. The added imagery makes ZUMA an invaluable resource for picture researchers, photo editors and publishers alike, whether their needs are current or historic.
ZUMA has dedicated significant resources over the past few months to integrate over 50,000 of Album's movie stills into ZUMA's 100,000+ cinematic archive. Another 50,000 will be added in the weeks ahead.
"When photo editors are on tight deadlines, they often don't have time to track down production studios to get hold of the stills they need," says Camilla Zenz, ZUMA's research manager. "At ZUMApress.com, clients can easily search by the name of the film, actor or production company. If they're really pressed for time, clients email me and I'll be happy to help find what they're looking for," she says.
ZUMA's digital, online movie-stills collection easily outnumbers any other available in the world. The content rounds out ZUMA's timely entertainment coverage and celebrity candids, making ZUMA a one-stop shop for everything available on a particular actor or film.
