Find-out why PhotoClaim is the best platform to track stolen photos.

Our manifesto

We have a powerful reason that encourages us to fight for you every day.

Behind every artwork is the artist’s heart and soul, it was their entire life which allowed that masterpiece to come to life. That is why we believe that every time a photo, artwork or design is stolen and used illegally, it is not only about breaking the law or a legal matter to solve. It is about the life of the creator whose photo has been stolen. It is about her time, resources, creativity and soul that someone or some company is infringing upon.

That is the reason why our company takes this matter very seriously and we aim to become a tool at the service of the artist, a tool to defend their rights and freedom.

Remember

This is not only a question of law, it is also a question of freedom for millions of artists who dedicate their entire lives so that we can see the world from a different perspective.

Our passion for justice and freedom bring you results every day.

As a global company, working with experienced lawyers from around the world, we win dozens of cases every month, ensuring justice and freedom for our clients, protecting them from future infringement, and recovering money. Our goal is to educate those who have stolen an image once to buy it legally next time, and to spread copyright awareness.

Our values are the foundation of our success.

Our daily work with artists from all around the world is based on strong values that make us care about every client and each case with the highest standards and service.

JUSTICE

A sense of justice is what fuels our company and our mission. Getting paid for your work is a basic principle. When someone breaks it, justice must be applied.

EMPOWERMENT

Our main success is making our clients realise their passions and goals. Therefore, every case we win is not only the success of our company but also a strong boost for the client to feel safe while doing their job.

TRANSPARENCY

For us, this is a fundamental principle that applies in every relationship with our clients. Transparency enables smooth communication at all times. This makes it possible to build long-term relationships.

FREEDOM

It is part of our DNA. Freedom is strongly linked to what encourages us to do this work every day. When there is no justice, freedom is the first to disappear. Freedom of our clients to do what they love most is what encourages us to pursue our mission.

LOYALTY

It always makes our clients feel safe, especially when we represent them in legal matters, negotiations, and in court. It also means good recommendations in the photographic and design community.

An inconvenient truth that we are changing”

Photos are crucial for businesses. However, companies have stopped buying photos. They simply steal them instead of buying because, in most cases, they can get away with it. As a photographer, It's as if years of passion, work and invested resources are thrown away with the click of a button. This critical scenario encouraged me to start a fight against copyright infringement. To achieve this goal, I founded a company and built an international network of lawyers experienced in handling these types of cases. With a team passionate about justice and the use of cutting-edge technology, our company has won thousands of cases over the past 7 years. We have brought back the freedom to many photographers so they can focus on what they really love to do.
