(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - November 6th, 2018 - Alamy and 360cities announce distribution partnership to introduce 360° spherical imagery to a new audience

5 November 2018 - Leading stock image supplier Alamy.com and virtual reality publishing platform 360Cities.net announce distribution partnership to introduce 360° images to a worldwide customer base.

Alamy.com and 360Cities.net announced today that 360Cities’ collection of thousands of stunning, immersive 360° spherical images will now be available to Alamy customers through Alamy’s online worldwide marketplace. The 360Cities database will launch on Alamy.com on 5 November 2018 with an initial collection of approximately 150K images, to be supplemented with a regular stream of new content.

“For Alamy, adding 360Cities to our list of many content partners today marks the launch of our support for and commitment to offering immersive image content to our customers around the world. Demand for this image format is growing across many categories including advertising, education, and entertainment, and by partnering with the largest curated and commercially licensable collection of this type of content online, we are able immediately to present a large and diverse content set to our markets.”

Alan Capel, Director of Community at Alamy.

The 360Cities collection includes stunning views and famous landmarks from 360Cities’ worldwide community of thousands of photographers who publish 360° using the 360Cities platform. 360Cities contributors will now be able to benefit from exposure for their work to a much larger audience and better chance of monetising their images.

"360Cities has been the publishing platform of choice for serious VR photographers, both pros and keen amateurs, since its founding in 2007", said 360Cities Commercial Director Steve Hercher. "By focusing on quality over quantity over the life of our project we’ve amassed a unique library of often amazing high-res 360° spherical photos from virtually every spot on the globe. We welcome this chance to widen our reach and generate more royalties for more of our contributors via Alamy’s respected place in the market," he said.
