A NEW MODEL FOR
EDITORIAL
DISTRIBUTION•
Mission
Visibility, clarity, and fair treatment as standard.
BlackFrame exists because editorial photographers and videographers deserve visibility into where their work goes, clarity on what it earns, and fair treatment as standard. We handle distribution and licensing. Work is placed with intent, reported on with transparency, and paid on time.
Origins
We have seen the pattern from the inside.
We have worked inside the largest photo agencies. Outstanding work delivered into systems that offer little visibility and less accountability. Photography and video shape culture, document history, and hold power to account. That work deserves clear terms, fair pay, honest communication, and archives handled with care.
Principles
Transparency
You see where your work goes, what it earns, and when you get paid.
Speed
Newsrooms work to deadlines. We respond fast and deliver faster.
Fairness
60% creator share. Fixed. No tiered rates, no special deals.
Reliability
We do what we say we will do. Consistent quality, dependable support.
