Founded in London in 2001, World Picture Network LLC (WpN) moved to its current headquarters in New York in 2004. We have built a network of hundreds of photographers in over 70 countries whose experience covers the spectrum of editorial and commercial photography, including conflict coverage, news, sports, entertainment, science, technology, fashion, lifestyle, portraiture and documentary photography. As a result, we are proud of our ability to match the best photographer to the specific photographic need, anywhere in the world.

Our commitment to quality photography has earned us the trust of the world’s most prestigious media companies, who rely on us for the deep journalistic knowledge and dependability we bring to every assignment. They know that we pride ourselves on the personal touch and that our direct involvement in the planning and execution of their photo shoot will provide the results they are looking for.
