Finding Images for your Project
Whether it’s archival film or video for a documentary, images for a book, permissions for educational courseware or music clearance for a project, Lucas Consulting will research, negotiate and license consent for the use. Pictures can tell a story or add context to your project but unearthing them from a respected source in high quality is key. We can work with your team to find visually compelling images within your budget and timeframe. Lucas Consulting also assists with photo curation & managing digital assets to help clients organize them into a solid archive.
Why Do I Need a Visual Researcher?
In today’s technology-driven world it is fair to say we all dabble in visual research. Images, footage, graphics, memes etc. are in front of us every day, but too much choice can make it harder to narrow down your search and cost you time. A Visual Researcher helps cut through the clutter.
Some of the best visual treasures are hidden away in archives, libraries, museums and private collections, but it can take time to dig through the layers to unearth the material. An experienced Visual Researcher can better navigate these niggly processes and get you answers fast!
Don’t risk your reputation by trusting that everything you see is credible. Online images can be cropped, altered, AI-generated and squashed in size making them difficult to work with. A Visual Researcher seeks out the source of the image, checks the quality, negotiates clearance and fees for use and can make alternative suggestions if necessary.
Visual Researchers have a solid worldwide network of relationships with image suppliers, archive organizations and professional colleagues, including the Visual Researchers’ Society of Canada. Connections like these elicit faster responses and negotiating power to get more bang for your buck!
