Sector guide to photo managementFor Dutch organisations
Image Bank by Sector About

Issue 01 · Sector journal

Every sector has its own photo problem.

A care home needs consent for every face. A housing association needs fresh photos of the same street every year. A municipality needs approved images fast. This journal goes sector by sector and looks at the scenes where photos get hard to manage, then at what to look for in an image bank.

01

Care organisations

Photos of clients and staff carry the heaviest consent burden of any sector. These articles cover consent records, withdrawal, the AVG and what to ask an image bank vendor.

02

Housing associations

Housing associations shoot complexes, renovations and residents across many neighbourhoods. These articles look at organising that material so it stays findable and usable.

03

Government & municipalities

Municipalities and public bodies work under procurement rules, transparency duties and strict privacy expectations. These articles cover what that means for choosing and running an image bank.

04

Tourism & leisure

Tourism boards and leisure operators live on strong imagery that journalists and partners request constantly. These articles cover press access, licensing and keeping regional photos current.

05

Technical companies

Technical and industrial companies manage product shots, installation photos and project documentation across sales and service. These articles look at structure, versions and sharing with dealers.

06

Charities & education

Charities and schools depend on storytelling photos, often involving minors or vulnerable people. These articles cover consent, campaigns and keeping a small team organised.

What every sector article checks

  1. 01

    Consent and portrait rights

    Who is in the photo, who said yes, for what purpose and until when? The answer decides whether an image can be used at all.

  2. 02

    Finding and approving

    Can a colleague find the right photo in under a minute, and see at a glance whether it is approved for their use?

  3. 03

    Sharing with the outside

    Press, partners, suppliers and residents need images too. The question is how to share them without losing control.
