Powerful press photos of top Swiss events

Exciting photographs of top Swiss events from sports, society, business, and culture are available with no charge to accredited editorial offices of public media (print, online, TV). swiss-image.ch arranges this unique press photo service on behalf of event organizers. Our cutting-edge event photographs conform to international agency standards, and are available to the media in the highest available image resolution with captions as pre-scribed by the IPTC. With the use of the swiss-image.ch LiveImage workflow , the latest photos are typically online five to ten minutes after they are taken, particu-larly in parallel to each photographer, optimizing the im-age editing of the photos. The new swiss-image.ch im-age database  ensures high levels of visibility and ease of operation.

The most beautiful tourism images for media throughout the world

The best images of the leading Swiss tourism photogra-phers are available to the national and international me-dia. As one of the first online tourism image archives, since 1998, swiss-image.ch has shown the many facets of Switzerland - from the historic towns and bustling shopping streets, the many lakes and colorful land-scapes, up to the four-thousand-meter peaks with their glaciers and ski resorts. For tourism reporting through Switzerland, the most beautiful Swiss photographs are available to the media with no charge. Our central image archive is also used incredibly frequently by journalists. It is often the case that its large selection, intuitive search and high degree of availability is more valued than its free use. With the new swiss-image.ch image database, photos can be obtained even faster and more easily.

Events in Pictures - powerful photos and advanced web tools for the leading event image service on the market

With the "Events in Pictures" image service, swiss-image.ch combines outstanding event and sports pho-tography with modern, mostly self-developed technical tools, along with efficient communication and distribu-tion. The heart of our successful system is Live Image - our photographers send the best event photos directly from their cameras to our image editors through the mobile Internet. In an almost fully automatic manner, such images are processed and presented in a LiveSlide (animated slideshow on the event website). The photos are integrated into a LiveGallery for mobile phones and tablets. The time between the photos being taken and appearing on mobile devices is 30 seconds at most.

Currently, one of our priority focuses is viral image communication. With the use of "share buttons," it is al-ready possible to easily and quickly download and share all photos in the Live Gallery on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest. Each "friend" of the event is called upon to use the images for his or her social net-works. Since 1998, swiss-image.ch has supported over 1,000 events, analyzed all operations and engaged in debrief-ing efforts with the organizers. In doing so, we have grown into an event image service with no equal. We have developed a solution for virtually any need regard-ing images. Instructional assistance in implementing im-age solutions has become increasingly important. We do not let event organizers fend for themselves!

Tourism in Pictures - image hosting for Swiss tourism with a broad range and a high degree of efficiency

In 1998, swiss-image.ch introduced the online image hosting for tourism. The underlying idea is simple - jour-nalists and editors appreciate the rapid availability of outstanding tourist photographs on the Internet with, at the same time, the least possible effort in searching. What is desired is not 100 image solutions such as Flickr, Dropbox, etc. from each individual destination, but a central and professional database. swiss-image.ch has offered this central image portal since 1998. Thanks to our market presence in Switzerland tourism and our activities, www.swiss-image.ch has become the most widely used tourism-related image database in Switzer-land. So far, photos have been downloaded by the me-dia approximately three million times. Approximately 6,500 editors around the world are accredited. For Swiss tourism organizations, this opens up unexpected distri-bution opportunities for their images, which they would miss with a stand-alone solution. Given our quality standards and the international photo agency standards applied by swiss-image.ch, both image providers and image users obtain a professional solution that will also best protect the rights of photographers. Tourism organ-izations that focus their communication on quality and image are right at home with swiss-image.ch. Ask us about the costs - you are sure to be surprised.
