laif agency
Since 1981, the laif brand has stood worldwide for excellent photojournalism with attitude and responsibility. We think photography, speak photography, dream photography, feel photography, teach photography.
Around 400 photographers around the world document social, political and historical events, report on crises and wars, make reports and take portraits of people.
We help the media to tell stories with the visual power of these photos and thus make an important contribution to showing the world as it is. In order to show the world as it is.
The agency represents 40 international partners worldwide, such as the publishing syndication of the New York Times or the Société du Figaro.
It supplies media clients with the best and in some cases award-winning images from politics, business, science and culture.
Companies, associations, foundations and NGOs rely on the agency’s expertise and internationality for their photo shoots.
The agency complements its sophisticated visual storytelling offering image archive, workshops and lectures.
We work with more than 300 agencies, including well-known partners such as laif, Getty-Images, AP and Magnum. “The laif agency in Cologne is particularly important to us because it represents most of the very, very good photographers in Germany.”
