Alaska Stock Increases Agent Network within Europe

Anchorage, AK (USA). NOVEMBER 2009 - (CEPIC) - Alaska's premier photo agency, Alaska Stock Images has signed distribution agreements with two prominent European distributors: Tips Italia SRL www.tipsimages.com and Profimedia.CZ s.r.o. www.profimedia.cz for its rights managed image collection and extended its reach accordingly within Italy and the Czech Republic.

Both distributors are well established in their respective territories with penetration into both editorial and commercial sectors. Alaska Stock is delighted to be a part of each of these distributors' product offerings, proactive marketing activities and excellent client service. Alaska Stock owner Jeff Schultz enthusiastically remarked, "I am excited that we have our images represented in Italy by Guido Rossi and his TIPS team. Their long-term experience in the Italian market is a great asset to us and we are happy for our new relationship." He also noted, "I am happy to see our images represented in the Czech Republic by Profimedia and feel they will do very well for us."

It is not only Alaska Stock's diverse, and often cute wildlife imagery, and striking natural landscapes that are of appeal to commercial image buyers throughout Europe but its collection covers major aspects of increasing international relevance and prominence in the media: climate change and global warming. Alaska is on the front line. Nowhere else are the effects of global warming thrown into such stark relief by the possible causes. Alaska Stock's extensive online archive chronicles the melting glaciers and disappearing habitats alongside the pipelines and drilling.
