Anthrophoto - About Us
OVERVIEW:
Anthro-Photo provides clients with the images provided by
scientists from long term field studies. Begun thirty years ago
with a small group of anthropologists, biologists and archeologists
from Harvard University, Anthro-Photo has expanded to include many
world famous scientists who provide historically accurate images with
captions that are science based, not “guessed at” by the photographer.
Our pictures aren’t “set up” or taken at a tourist demonstration of
what the cultures used to do. Our photographers were there, they
lived in the field, they are the authorities on the cultures and
animals they photographed.
WHY WE ARE
DIFFERENT: Anthro-Photo is owned and run by
Anthropologists and Biologists. We have been illustrating textbooks and
magazines for thirty years. We stand behind our photographs with
not only accurate captions, but the scientific knowledge that allows us
to know what you are looking for before you do. Unlike “McStock
Agencies” we specialize in certain topics, which enables us to drill
down into our stock to provide the image you need to illustrate a
concept. We are reachable for personal help, not just an
unanswered voice mail or email. We take the time to get it right,
and will contact our photographers for more information when needed.
