About EPA Images
European Pressphoto Agency B.V. (rebranded as EPA Images) was established in November 1984 through an agreement among seven European news agencies. The founders’ vision was driven by the demand for an independent, high-quality picture service originally designed for the European media market. In early 2003, EPA Images made its service available worldwide, marking the beginning of its global operations. In 2014, EPA Images launched its global video service. Today’s EPA Images’ photo and video services are based on a broad network of visual journalists worldwide, as well as on the daily production of its eight member agencies: ANA-MPA, ANP, ANSA, EFE, KEYSTONE-SDA, LUSA, MIT, and PAP, all of which are market leaders in their respective countries.
