About Majority World

A photo agency with a difference... Majority World works with talented photographers from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. We specialise in sourcing high quality images from these diverse continents, which provide unique insights into local cultures, environments and development issues. We also work with client organisations to commission assignments for our photographers, who have the advantage of being able to understand and access the language, lifestyle, and locality - because it is their own. ...and a social enterprise We are also a social enterprise - with a mission to create equal opportunities for our pool of talented photographers while communicating authentic visual stories to the rest of the world. We nurture and promote their creative talent and open new channels for them to tell their own stories, as well as the opportunity to establish their own digital enterprises. ...with roots and operations in the majority world Majority World is an initiative of Drik. Drik is a picture library based in Bangladesh, that pioneers multimedia and journalistic skills in the region as well as being a champion for free and open media. In keeping with this heritage, Majority World's senior management are experienced practitioners from the "majority world" itself. Majority Worlds operational hub is in Sri Lanka, but it maintains a presence in London in order that we can provide high standards of service to international markets. ...offering something special to our customers, distributors and partners For the communities in which we work, we see doing business as a tool for doing good - every image purchased, every feature published and every assignment completed is making a direct economic impact. For the talented photographers we work with we are opening doors - creating visibility, market access, and respect. For their new global audiences we are opening minds - challenging perceptions and provide new sources of inspiration and insight.
