How we work
Remote Content Production made easy
Fairpicture is your gateway to a global network of local visual creatives. We produce striking, culturally sensitive storytelling that fosters equal relationships among visual creators, portrayed individuals, clients, and the public. From corporate photography to ethical fundraising content to complex video production services, local photographers and videographers bring unique knowledge and context into your visual communication.
We understand that expectations are high and time is short. With a strong focus on efficiency, context, and consent, we provide a production process that saves you time, yet delivers visual content that transcends expectations.

Authentic stories from a dedicated network
Fairpicture provides the necessary tools for remote story production, moderates co-creation, and ensures quality. Our production managers facilitate your assignments and offer support to both clients and creators from request to invoicing.
The global Fairpicture network of over 200 professional photographers and videographers is at your service. Local community managers on all continents facilitate learning within the community and uphold quality standards.
An increasing number of visual professionals and human rights experts share their expertise through consulting and training services alongside the Fairpicture team. Together we support you in powerful storytelling, communication strategies, ethical fundraising, human rights, and impact, delivering scientifically grounded and creative solutions for you.
Although I love to visit our fantastic water projects around the world, it makes much more sense to employ local creatives to support our storytelling while we make a contribution to the local economy and avoid unnecessary CO2 emissions.

Ethical storytelling remains the core
Videos and photos are more than just illustrations.
They bring to our attention people, places, and realities that we would otherwise be unaware of. Our goal is that ethical pictures contribute to equal relationships between visual creators, portrayed people, clients, and the general public.
Fairpicture visual creators narrate stories in the native tongue that are influenced by the culture and understanding of the community. In a complex world, we co-create new and innovative ways of ethical storytelling – toward a decolonised and fair picture.
Context and Consent are key
When you request photos or videos from Fairpicture you can be certain that you always receive your visual material with IPTC conform Metadata – giving you all details about origin and context of every single image of your project.
For the consent of the people depicted, we developed the Fairpicture Consent App – the ultimate solution for our visual creators to seamlessly obtain informed consent from individuals captured in their photographs and videos, while adhering to the strict requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Curiosity and an openness to particular conditions and projects, together with a visual language that is likewise outstanding and consistent in our media presentation - this is what characterises our cooperation with Fairpicture and the local visual creators.
