Getty Images to Distribute Discovery Communications Footage and Photography

Seattle, Wash., and Washington, D.C. -Discovery Communications, a leading global real-world media company, has chosen Getty Images Inc., well-known producer and distributor of visual content, as the exclusive distributor for its vast collection of stock footage from Discovery FootageSource.

Getty Images also is a key distributor of Discovery Channel Images’ high-quality nature and wildlife photography. Both the film and photography collections feature a wide array of subjects, including animals, nature travel, technology, and industry to be used by visual communicators worldwide.
 
Still photography from Discovery Channel Images is available online at www.gettyimages.com. Getty Images customers can now access Discovery images, which are well-captioned with Latin names for each animal species, for example. Styles are consistent across collections and available in medium, large, and panoramic formats.
