NOOR Images
NOOR is an international Photo Agency representing twelve photo-journalists. Based in Amsterdam its organizational model derives from a cooperative system where every member photographer is also a co-owner.

Launched at Visa Pour l'Image on September 2007 by Samantha Appleton, Philip Blenkinsop, Jodi Bieber, Pep Bonet, Jan Grarup, Stanley Greene, Yuri Kozyrev, Kadir van Lohuizen, Francesco Zizola, and managing director Claudia Hinterseer. The agency was later enriched by the arrival of new members: Jon Lowenstein in 2008, Nina Berman in 2009, Alixandra Fazzina in 2010 and in 2011, Andrea Bruce and Giancarlo Ceraudo.

NOOR’s mission is to contribute to a growing understanding of the world by producing independent in-depth visual reports and collectively and actively promote, exhibit and serve as a vehicle for the work of its member photographers.

Climate Change by NOOR
Climate Change by NOOR is a long term group project that focuses two issues. The first, Consequences by NOOR is an eyewitness record of the devastating effects of climate change around the globe. Produced in the autumn of 2009, these visual reportages show not what might happen in the future but what is happening today, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the issues at stake. NOOR continued the project in autumn 2010 with a visual project investigating what is and can be done to slow down or reverse climate change: Solutions by NOOR. This focuses on human stories about alternative power sources, renewable energies, and attempts to alleviate, adjust or cope with the rise of global temperatures; the biggest challenge our world has ever faced.
