Congratulations to Carl Battreall

Carl Battreall, an Alaska Stock contributor, has won this year's Daniel Housberg Wilderness Image Award for Excellence in Still Photography!

As noted by the Alaska Conservation Foundation, The "Alaska Conservation Foundation established the awards program to recognize the remarkable achievements of individuals committed to protecting Alaska's magnificent wild places, intact ecosystems, and sustainable communities.

Alaska Stock Takes it to the Far East!

Well, it's not as if we're moving the state or anything, but yes, it's true ... you can find Alaska in Asia. Here at Alaska Stock we are continuing to grow via our two new partnerships with Far East stock photo agencies, Top Photo Corp. based in China and Topic Photo Agency of Korea.

Both these agencies enjoy strong market presence, impressive collections, and deliver excellent customer service. We are excited to partner with Topic and Top Photo and believe we have a bright future together.

Top Photo’s Sales Manager remarks, "We are very happy to have a new photo supplier which focuses on Alaskan images. In today's market, as local images become very important and local suppliers can deliver more images that speak to global consumer's concepts, feeling and thoughts, we find that we have a great source for Alaskan photography with Alaska Stock Images, which industry giants Corbis, Getty, Jupiter do not have." Head quartered in Taipei, Taiwan with three branch offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, China, Top Photo is the premier stock agency in the Greater China market.

Established in 1992 and based in Seoul, Topic Photo Agency is the leading stock photo resource in Korea. "We are pleased to let our clients experience Alaska Stock's unique, fresh and specialized images of Alaska," says CEO of Topic Photo Agency, Myungjo Lee. "There is no doubt that these promising images would meet our fastidious clients, who are accustomed to Topic's high-end images."

Owner of Alaska Stock Images, Jeff Schultz, comments, "Alaska Stock is thrilled to expand our global presence into Taiwan, China and Korea. I am very excited to be able to partner our images with the wonderful people at both Topic and Top Photo. We look forward to a fulfilling on-going relationship."

Great Wall here we come!
