Unmatched research capabilities Since 1984, Feldman & Associates has provided comprehensive photo, audio/video and editorial research, rights, permissions, image and archive management services to publishers, book and content developers nationwide. Located in Northfield, IL, 25 miles north of downtown Chicago, Feldman & Associates is the largest free-standing photo research organization in the country.
Broad project experience Over the last 25+ years, Feldman has been fortunate to work on more than 3,500 book, CD, Web, video, film, software, exhibit and advertising projects covering a broad range of subjects for K-12, college, consumer, technical and business audiences. Through this experience, the firm has developed widespread international contacts with stock photo houses, photographers, libraries, museums, governmental agencies, educators, video, film and digital media producers.
Powerful digital technology In the late 90s, Feldman pioneered the concept of providing photo submissions via a secure, password-protected website, and has invested heavily in its continuing development ever since. Dynamically linked to our image management database, the Feldman website allows publishers, editors and designers to view analog and digital photo submissions in a consistent, manageable electronic format, and to collaborate on picture selection without regard to location. Web submission also significantly reduces the cost of shipping and handling analog images, as well as the risk of loss or damage.
Unique archive resources Through its website initiative, Feldman has built an online archive of almost 650,000 pre-researched images. Growing daily, the Feldman Archive is instantly searchable by our staff via the company’s intranet. It is an increasingly powerful time and cost saving research tool for both the firm and its clients.
