Redux Pictures

Redux Pictures was founded by Marcel Saba in New York in the summer of 2003. Saba began his career at the Gamma Liaison agency and later became director of PictureGroup; in 1989 he formed SABA Press Photos, and in 2000 he sold that company to Corbis and joined it as Vice President for Editorial Photography, resigning in February 2002. Saba founded Redux to set itself apart from the mega-agencies dominating the market, offering high-end work by award-winning photographers with distinctive styles, operating at a medium size, and emphasizing personal relationships with photographers and editors.⁠[1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1]

On July 31, 2006, The New York Times Company announced that it had retained Redux Pictures to license Times photography to US magazines, books, websites, broadcast outlets, and commercial markets; financial terms were not disclosed. The publisher continued to handle photo licensing for its news service and syndicate clients, overseas markets, and all newspapers itself. The Times photo archive then held more than 7 million images, dating back to the early 1900s.⁠[2][2][2][3]

As of October 2026, requests to republish or license a stand-alone New York Times photograph are handled by Redux Pictures; when a photograph is used together with other New York Times content such as text or logos, rights are handled by Wright’s Media.⁠[4][4]

Redux’s photographers are located around the world, and their work spans portraits of world leaders, CEOs, politicians, athletes, and celebrities; documentation of social and global issues; and travel, food, and lifestyle photography. The company represents The New York Times Archives and partners with more than 25 photo collections. Regular editorial clients include Forbes, Fortune, Time, and The New Yorker, and commercial shoot clients include Goldman Sachs, Bose, Converse, Under Armour, and Vans.⁠[5][5][5][5][5][5][5]
