When searching for images or vide clips today one has in theory access to millions of photos or clips on hundreds internet portals. In reality an image search under these conditions is often neither fruitful nor efficient.

Prisma offers two primary ways for you to find the image you are looking for:

We recommend that you register free of charge. Several useful functions on our website are available to you right after you log in.

For evaluation and layouts the images will be available to you in a higher quality at no cost.

Prisma offers both rights-managed and royalty-free images and videos to fit different budgets. You will have acces to a wide variety of photos with the following subjects: business, lifestyle, people, travel, geography, nature, food, industry, medicine, sports, animals, plants and conceptual photography or historical photos. Modern, contemporary photography is represented, but you will also find retro stock with historical images.

Our image are available as files in several different sizes, from the web resolution in 72 dpi to the 300 dpi print resolution in DIN A5, A4 or A3. All images have been carefully edited and quality proofed.
