Lost Loved

No two searches are the same because no two briefs are the same. We start with the creative, then build a research strategy around it - following the strongest leads wherever they take us. That might mean working with major archives, independent photographers, collectors or private contributors. The result is material chosen because it fits the idea, not because it happened to be sitting on a shelf.

We manage the clearance process from first assessment through to final approval, identifying the permissions a project needs before navigating them on your behalf. Whether the work involves archive, photography, brands, estates or intellectual property, we keep the process moving while protecting the creative. Complex rights are part of the job. Making them feel straightforward is ours.

Licensing is more than paperwork. We negotiate terms, manage agreements and work directly with rights holders to ensure every use is properly licensed. From a single image to a complex, multi-party campaign, we oversee the process from beginning to end. Clear communication, careful negotiation and attention to detail keep projects moving with confidence.
