Images and B-roll
Online photographic library
VisitBritain is pleased to announce the launch of a new online image library beginning Tuesday May 5th at www.visitbritainimages.com. Giving access to all free VB and partner imagery, it is available to VB staff, key stakeholders, travel trade and journalists. Just like the BoV website, users register to enjoy full download functionality.
Visit www.britainonview.com to search our library of more than 50,000 photographs, and register online for a fast and simple way to order and receive images at high-resolution using our online delivery system. Please note that registrations have to be approved during London office hours before you can use the "shopping basket" feature to download photographs. Some images will be marked "collaboration fees apply" - these will incur a charge for use, even for editorial use. There is no charge for using other photographs from the site for this purpose.
VisitBritain can supply royalty free images of Britain for editorial use only to writers and editors who are preparing travel articles on Britain.
Once you have registered on www.britainonview.com you can save images to your own "light boxes" (even before registration is approved). This is an easy way to save images for future reference, and to e-mail your selection to colleagues or VisitBritain staff for immediate assistance.
Please contact VisitBritain's media relations team if you require any assistance using www.britainonview.com.
