Details

Panos Pictures began in 1986 as a small independent for-profit photo agency specialising in environmental issues.[6] It was founded and partly owned by environmental charity Panos London (the Panos Institute's London office) out of its photo archive.[7] Adrian Evans joined as director in 1990 and spent five years overseeing its expansion.[8]

Panos London closed in 2013. The Panos Institute, a sister organisation of Panos Pictures, has been renamed Panos Network, a network of five member institutes.

Panos Pictures has at any time a group of twenty of its photographers, called Panos Profile, whom it represents more comprehensively than its wider group of photographers, which it calls Panos Network[2][9] (this Panos Network should not be confused with the sister organisation described above).[10]
