Picade is a new Chicago-based stock and assignment photo agency owned entirely by its 45 contributing photographers located in nine countries. The agency focuses on rights-managed imagery. In 2006, founding photographer Brian Seed opined that photographers should stop complaining about increasingly bad contracts being offered by the big agencies and do something about it by starting their own photo agency. Picade is the result; the agency offers contributors an over-50% commission, a voice in the company and the opportunity to share in profits as co-owners.
