New York, New York, January 13, 2006 - Veer, a provider of visual elements and design-related products to the creative community, today announced the company has been appointed the exclusive distributor of ès (pronounced “ess”) rights-managed (RM) photography in North America. The stylish, European-inspired collection is created and produced by the PhotoAlto Agency, and adds to the extensive range of photography, illustration, and typefaces resold exclusively at veer.com.

“A big part of Veer’s appeal is the high-quality, distinctive elements that our customers can’t find elsewhere,” says Don Wieshlow, head of product development at Veer. “We’re excited to add the ès photography collection to our lineup of exclusive products. We think the European flavor of ès will be very appealing to Veer’s creative audience.”

Cinematic and experimental, ès photography evokes the moods, styles, and sensuality of Europe. Created by a collective of professional photographers with a contemporary sensibility, this distinctive rights-managed library embodies the human experience via its striking portraits, and uses varied subject matter to evoke a range of emotional and intellectual responses.

“In Veer we found a partner who shares our goal of bringing a distinctive look and voice to the photographic market,” says Sandra Ly-Flores, the PhotoAlto Agency’s US Office Director. “For our new rights-managed collection we wanted a partner who recognized the quality of the collection and whose audience would appreciate its unique aesthetic. Veer fits those criteria to a T, so we’re pleased to welcome them as the exclusive distributor of our ès collection in the US and Canada.”

Veer offers hundreds of thousands of high-quality images and typefaces by leading brands, and a growing range of exclusive brands available only at veer.com. These include Fancy royalty-free photography, Solus rights-managed photography, Umbrella and Jukebox type, and now ès photography. Over 1,200 new ès images are now available for purchase at veer.com.
