Photoshare Public Health and Development Photography Collection

Developed exclusively for educational and nonprofit purposes, Photoshare is a one-of-a-kind editorial photography collection covering a broad range of subjects in international development, with a focus on public health. The online image database currently contains more than 20,000 captioned images related to global health and development issues. The Photoshare collection falls under the category of editorial photography. Unlike commercial photography, which is usually obtained through contracts with professional photographers/models and licenses with stock agencies, editorial photography employs a journalistic approach to taking and using photos. In other words, Photoshare images are intended for documentary use – objective, accurate representations or illustrations of a real situation, subject, or physical location.
