On 6 September 2007 nine of the world’s leading documentary photographers will launch Noor,
a new photo agency providing in high quality imagery to the international market.

Noor’s members are independent and concern
ed photographers producing in-depth visual reports on important social, political,
environmental and cultural issues with a highly personal visual grammar.

Jan Grarup (Denmark), Stanley Greene (United States), Yuri Kozyrev (Russia), Kadir van Lohuizen (The Netherlands)
and Francesco Zizola (Italy)

In a combined effort – and with the support and coordination of co-owner and managing director Claudia Hinterseer
and associate editor Lotti Pronk – the agency will promote, sell and exhibit the work of its nine founding member photographers.

From 7 September 2007 onwards, visitors and customers will have access to www.noorimages.com
where projects of the photographers are accessible and the online picture library for archival photography can be accessed.

The launch will take place at Visa Pour L’Image in Perpignan during a screening of work of the member photographers on
Thursday evening 6 September. Friday morning 7 September 2007 at 10 am a press conference will take place at the Palais des Congres.
Noor is grateful to Canon Europe and Kodak for supporting our launch.
