Getty Images Expands Photographer Grant Program

Good news in tough times: Getty Images is expanding its grants program, which since 2005 has awarded professional photojournalists and students with cash and support for editorial photography projects. The imagery giant, which last summer was acquired by private equity firm Hellman & Friedman, has just announced Getty Images Grants for Good, which will award two photographers $15,000 each “to cover costs associated with creating compelling imagery to raise awareness about the issues and work of a non-profit they admire.”
