Images company with $9 million annual sales.
Previously, he was Vice President of International
Color Stock, Inc. (ICS) and President of

readers online and in print. Before that, Randy was

L'Agence Sygma (now Corbis-Sygma) and Black Star

of creative, technical and management skills. Over
the years, he has overseen creative staffs
including six film critics at INS and 74 employees

photos sell, both in editorial and advertising
stock, and has personally created extensive content
for licensing. The relationships that he has
developed with many stock agents and photographers
are nurtured via newsletters and seminars. On the
technical side, he has created computerized
accounting, image tracking and marketing systems.
This broad experience in all aspects of photography
