What we cover
We curate and license an extensive archive of celebrity, entertainment, and editorial imagery spanning more than five decades. Our focus is simple: help you find the right image quickly, understand rights clearly, and license confidently.
Big Pictures boasts an extensive celebrity and entertainment-based archive that now stretches to more than 20 million pictures dating back 50 years. Almost half of the collection is already in digital format, making it one of the world's largest libraries of its kind.
The archive includes an unrivalled royal portfolio and a truly international breadth of coverage: the people who make history and headlines, from pop stars and show business celebrities to prominent leaders and politicians.
Big Pictures owns the copyright, or has the exclusive right to distribute, the photographs and videos in the library. Licensing is provided under clear terms and a defined scope.
