Tom Stoddart joins Getty Images
IPG photojournalist Tom Stoddart will join Getty Images from 1 March 2005, to focus on reportage projects and in-depth magazine features.
As a prominent member of Getty Images’ contributors team, Tom will continue to develop his portfolio of powerful images and projects, travelling to wherever history is being made. His trademark style and ability to draw public engagement to the news agenda will strengthen Getty Images’ leadership in global photojournalism.
Nick Evans-Lombe, Senior Vice President of Imagery and Services, said: ”We are delighted to have a photojournalist of Tom Stoddart’s stature and experience join our team, which is responsible for bringing worldwide attention to events as they unfold. We have long been admirers of Tom’s work and his ability to create photographs that are consistently at the forefront of the social, political and humanitarian agenda.”
From humble beginnings on a regional paper in the north of England in the 1970s, Tom has since travelled to over 50 countries, exposing thousands of rolls of film along the way. Watching history unfold in front of his lens, Tom has been witness to and responsible for providing the world with images of events that have shaped the last 25 years. From East Berliners’ first taste of freedom to the dignity and determination of besieged Sarajevans, the ongoing inhumanity and displacement in Sudan, the desperation of sub-Saharan Africa’s AIDS endemic and the political victories of Nelson Mandela in 1994 and unprecedented access to the UK Labour Party in 1997's election win.
Tom Stoddart commented, "I am extremely proud to have my pictures represented by Getty Images and am excited to be joining such a highly creative and motivated team who truly have a passion for pictures".

En, voor de analooghaters in het algemeen en de Leica-haters in het bijzonder:
Tom Stoddart: I am a very traditional kind of photojournalist, I use Leica M6's with 28mm, 35mm, 50mm lenses. I shoot in black and white and I try to keep the equipment simple, unobtrusive, quiet with fantastic lenses and that's what the Leica is best at doing. It also allows me to work very close to the subject, I don't use telephoto lenses, I don't ever try and steal a picture. I am always right in the face of whoever I am photographing so if they don't want to be photographed they can very quickly let me know. A lot of the photographs I have been shooting in Africa have, as I was saying, been in very poor light so I have been pushing the film a little bit.
I use Ilford HP5 and Kodak Tri-X film.
