Digital Asset Officer at the Canadian Museum of History says:
We used The Canadian Press photos for the museum’s Canadian History Hall exhibition, featuring images on panels, interactive displays and catalogues. Some subjects were so specific that CP was the only source for images.
Working with Andrea over there is marvelous. Her quick responses are helpful and she recommends great image options or does research for us.
It’s a smooth, user-friendly and quick process.
Dominique Dufour
Rights and Research Coordinator at TC Media says:
We publish school e-books and have been using CP photos for over 15 years.
CP is our first choice and main source for photos of historical news events and what’s happening in the world right now.
We’re always in good hands with CP because they cover so many topics and their efficient customer service makes things a piece of cake for me.
Patrick St-Hilaire
Freelance image researcher says:
I do photo research for academic book publishers like McGraw-Hill Education and for 14 years, I’ve always used The Canadian Press.
When it comes to Canadian images, CP is fantastic and I can get a large number of specific photos very quickly – usually within 10 minutes.
It’s their personal service that keeps me coming back and going to them first. They’re efficient, have great pricing and are flexible in adapting to our needs.
Alison Lloyd Baker
Senior Graphic Designer at Legion Magazine says:
When we’re looking for archival photos or current news photos, we go to The Canadian Press because they have a great selection to pick from.
They’ve been very helpful at providing quite a bit of photos for our special magazines like the one on the Royals with Will and Kate, or the Oh Canada special publication that sold out at newsstands.
We always seems to find what we’re looking for.
Jennifer McGill
Photo purchaser at Oxford University Press Canada says:
We use photos from CP in our textbooks. They’re a great source of Canadian images, rich with news photography from current and historical events.
We’re able to easily download the photos right away as high-res images, which is really important when we’re on a tight schedule.
If ever we have a hard time finding the right image, Andrea on their team can usually pull it up within minutes – She’s awesome.
