THE ONE WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY ORGANIZATION
International and Independent Press Photo Agency
 
 
 

One World Photography (OWP) was first established in 1994 by a group of well known and established war photographers with a primary objective to professionally cover topics currently being ignored or suppressed by the mainstream media, most importantly issues of war, human rights, third world politics, and humanitarian actions across our developing nations.

Today One World Photography is the most respected and effective socially conscious photo agency and embodies an international network of offices, bureaus, staff, photographers, crews, editors, representatives and other talents spread across our world's developing nations. We represent some of the world’s most talented photographers and photojournalists and offer quality driven photos and film footage that is not available anywhere else.
We primarily cover war zones and human rights issues across the world allowing an avenue of impartial and neutral coverage so that the truths can be uncovered, justice can be achieved, and insuring there is a path to accurate and honest coverage for those that are allowed to report the factual accounts.
We are incorporated worldwide and completely independent. We are not bound by investors, stock holders, sponsors, or financier demands, viewpoints or objectivities. We do not use or allow advertising within any of our mediums (magazine, online, community site, OWPtv, etc.) and therefore again free of pressure of prejudice, favoritism, or biased views that most news and press outlets are guilty of.
Our staff shares profit in the company through a unique profit share program which is essentially owned by its established staff and photographers. 50% of our net profits are shared through our profit share partners, 30% net profits are used to expand and enhance the company, and the remaining 20% of net profits are used through our Aid Programs to help those that are less fortunate in areas that we are working in.
