Construction Photography

Image licensing and search

The library licence Rights Managed and Royalty Free images from content providers, photographers, agencies, museums and libraries around the world. In 2007 Construction Photography signed an agreement with the Russian state news agency Ria Novosti to represent its built environment content worldwide.

In the month of March 2005, Construction Photography launched a search engine including a feature called “Image Weight”. The search results are primarily ordered by image weight. Images increase in weight when users add them to a lightbox or a cart or open an image preview or large preview. Each action has a different weight. Images decrease in weight when they are removed from a lightbox or from the cart. An algorithm calculates in real time all these parameters to give each image a constant updated weight. Also included in the algorithm are the upload date and the keyword relevance to the search.
