imageBROKER, founded in 2003 by Klaus-Peter Wolf, is a premier German photography agency with deep roots in the industry, extending back decades before its establishment. Klaus and his wife began their journey as professional photographers in the early 1980s, traveling extensively for international assignments during a time when photography involved manual slide processing and physical distribution.

Adapting to the digital revolution of the early 2000s, Klaus embraced digitization, creating a platform to market images online—a groundbreaking move at the time. This vision led to the birth of imageBROKER, which began by digitizing and distributing images from Klaus, his network of photographers, and close friends.

Over the years, imageBROKER has grown into a significant player in the industry, collaborating with over 1,000 top photographers worldwide. Its collection includes more than 4.5 million premium royalty-free (RF) and rights-managed (RM) images, videos, and illustrations, spanning every imaginable topic. The agency is particularly renowned for its breathtaking nature, historic, animal, and travel photography.

Today, imageBROKER stands out as a trusted source of imagery, with its content often described by users as “addictive,” “brilliant,” and “a blessing to their eyes.”
