Distinctive rights-managed photography from Solus and Pete McArthur inspires new creative possibilities

Calgary, Alberta, January 30, 2003 - Veer, a provider of unique visual elements and design-related products, today announced the addition of rights-managed (RM) photography to its extensive library of royalty-free imagery, motion, and type. This addition makes Veer one of the only providers to offer a full spectrum of visual elements and licensing options. Veer adds rights-managed photography from Solus and Pete McArthur, two striking collections that express visual excellence.

Veer has signed an agreement to be the exclusive US reseller of Solus. This expertly edited collection embodies three distinct aspects of photographic creativity: executing assignment-level concepts, putting a new spin on traditional subjects, and exploring personal visions. Their fresh approach has enabled Solus to attract sophisticated photographers, including those previously unwilling to shoot stock. A second rights-managed library features the signature style of Pete McArthur - vivid still-life imagery characterized by bold color, masterful lighting, and witty compositions.

With the addition of RM photography, Veer responds to the sophisticated needs of the advertising and publishing market. These new rights-managed collections offer greater exclusivity to designers and their client due to their restricted, limited-time usage agreements, and availability of rights protection. Additionally, Veer offers full research and rights-clearance services to support image buyers in their quest for the ideal image.

“Veer’s entry into rights-managed imagery marks our continued growth and ongoing commitment to source original, distinctive imagery that meets both the aesthetic standards and licensing requirements creatives demand,” said Drina Lazar, one of the founding partners of Veer. “We’re thrilled to have partnered with Solus and Pete McArthur, two companies that complement our design-driven approach and exemplify exceptional depth of visual artistry.”

Customers can search Veer’s rights-managed imagery by keyword or browse through thematic galleries on veer.com. Rights-managed pricing is calculated per image use based on such factors as placement, usage, region, and circulation. Rights protection is available on Solus either by industry or total protection. Image buyers can use Veer’s online price calculator to determine pricing or call toll-free to request the assistance of Veer’s dedicated sales staff. Images are delivered in digital format as RGB JPEG files and range in size from 20 to 83 MB.
