New York, NY, August 8, 2006 - Veer, a provider of visual elements and design-related products, today announced the release of Somos™ Hispanic Images, the company’s new collection of royalty-free photography. Somos, meaning “We are” in Spanish, captures the subjects and faces of the contemporary Hispanic demographic and portrays the range of Latino culture today, from business to romance. Somos is now available for purchase at veer.com/somos.
The Somos collection is commercial, current, and stylish. Avoiding stereotypical or insular Hispanic themes, Somos maintains broad market appeal and addresses the increasing global demand for compelling visuals of this influential demographic. “Veer has always been committed to producing fresh, relevant images for the creative community,” says Don Wieshlow, Vice President of Products at Veer. “With Somos, we’re helping to meet the need for imagery that reflects Hispanic people as they are today - affluent, educated, and current. This collection explores the nuances and captures the spirit of Latino culture in a style that will appeal to our customers.”
Somos products are available as single-image downloads, from low resolution to super-high resolution, and are priced from $129 to $419 USD each. Currently, the collection includes 3,000 images and will grow to 10,000 images in the first year. Images are available now at veer.com/somos, and Veer will distribute the collection worldwide through its international resale channel.
Somos images are featured in the August issue of the Veer Visual Elements catalog, and the entire collection (including a Somos showreel) is available for viewing online. For more information, to view the showreel, or to purchase Somos images, visit veer.com/somos or call 877 297 7900.
Somos represents Veer’s continued strength as a producer and marketer of high-quality, relevant images. Veer introduced the Fancy™ deluxe royalty-free photography collection in May 2005 and has seen a strong response to it from creatives around the world.
