About us
Who we are
Documenting stories that matter:
Panos works with experienced, award-winning photographers and filmmakers from around the world who are determined to push boundaries, challenge assumptions and inspire change. We have over 30 years experience working with both the commercial and non-profit sectors, actively using photography and film to communicate to new and diverse audiences.
Founded in 1986, Panos evolved from a photo archive of the Panos Institute, an NGO that specialised in communication on development issues, to become one of the world’s leading independent and award-winning photographic agencies.
