Getty Spotlights Emerging Advertising Photographers

People charged with sourcing images – those ever elusive photo editors and advertising agency art buyers – are always looking for the next big thing in photography. So the good people at Getty Images have tried to make it easy on them by selecting 35 photographers who are "destined to make a significant impact in the world of advertising next year."

The imaging company's second-annual "New Photographers 2007" list was presented yesterday at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. It's a PR/marketing move by Getty to be sure, but nonetheless there are some great photographers on the list, including some familiar names and many new ones we're looking forward to watching develop.

Getty Images SVP and Group Creative Director Lewis Blackwell says in a release: "To celebrate the truth of what we experience, photography needs to capture events with accuracy but also engage the imagination. There is a generation of imagemakers at work who understand that symbolism is every bit as 'real' a quality to work with as flat documentary."

Below is the complete list with links to the photographers' websites. Also see last year's list.
