Getty Images acquires Photonica & Iconica imagery : Getty Images announced today that it will acquire Photonica West from the Tokyo-based Amana Group for $51 million in cash. Photonica produces and distributes two of the world's leading collections of cutting edge, high-end rights-managed imagery from some of the most talented and creative photographers in Europe, the United States and Japan. These photo collections are considered the "hidden gems" of the imagery business - highly respected by creative professionals but with limited global sales, marketing and distribution. As a result of this acquisition, both Photonica and Iconica will be distributed via gettyimages.com, the de-facto homepage of visual communicators.
