Editorial Image Selection Criteria
When Together Brothers evaluates images from Alamy’s catalog, editorial relevance and visual coherence take priority. Teams look for compositions that reflect authentic workplace dynamics and community engagement.
Diversity, inclusion, and cultural sensitivity are weighed carefully to ensure imagery resonates with target audiences and aligns with the brand’s values.
Usage Rights and Compliance

After selecting base images, designers adapt color grading, framing, and overlays so each photo feels native to the Together Brothers identity. Consistent typography and layout rules help stock photography integrate seamlessly with original illustrations.
Light retouching and compositing preserve realism while removing distractions, enabling visuals that support storytelling rather than competing with it.

FAQ
Reader questions
How does licensing work when using Alamy images for Together Brothers campaigns?
You choose the appropriate license type on Alamy during checkout, which specifies whether the image is for editorial, advertising, or extended use, and you retain documentation inside Together Brothers’ asset records.
Can Together Brothers modify Alamy photos to match brand colors and fonts?
Yes, you can edit and customize images after licensing, as long as the modifications comply with the selected license terms and do’t remove required attribution where mandated.
What happens if an image from Alamy is used outside the licensed scope?
Using an image beyond the license exposes Together Brothers to compliance risk, potential takedown requests, and financial liability, so teams follow internal review steps before publishing.
How does Together Brothers track image usage across regional markets?
By centralizing files in a digital asset management system, tagging each asset with license details and territory rules, teams can monitor and report on usage for audits and renewals.
