Automotive photolibrary
The motorfolio photolibrary is a unique library of high-quality images of cars provided in a consistent series of view points and formats.
Currently we have around 2500 images of cars which we are updating all the time. The core set of images are photographed under natural lighting conditions within vehicle dealerships. 'New arrivals' or forward models due for introduciotn into the market, are also photographed at motorshows or at points of entry to ensure maximum completion of the library.
Benefits and features:
Consistent
The library shows each unique make, model, body style / door combination available within the European vehicle market. For each model there is a portfolio of the same six views/angles of the exterior and interior. The library of images is effectively serviceable for most Western European markets.
Designed with publication and the web in mind
Clipped, neutral backgrounds, consistent view points (and interiors) make the images ideal for website integration, catalogues and price list views. The consistent viewpoints work particularly well in a comparison or side-by-side page layout.
No copyright exposure
Copyright of the images is legally unambiguous. This is an important point - recent legal actions now prevent website owners and others from using or distributing manufacturers' 'editorial' pictures outside of an editorial context. Using such images on commercial sites has resulted in the publishers being pursued for copyright breaches.
Data integration
The naming conventions and coding of the images in the library allows utilisation with a variety of different data suppliers and formats giving simple linkage of photos to different third-party data.
