Who has the best photographers, the best prices, and covers all the hot image concepts? It has always been important for Westend61 to optimize our portfolio in line with market developments constantly. Together with our photographers, we also want to stand for progressive imagery, away from the norm. In this way, we can offer contemporary stock photography, that particular something, and a diverse visual language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOF12875-1.jpg\" alt=\"Young businesswoman with legs crossed at ankle contemplating while sitting on desk in office\" class=\"wp-image-18369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOF12875-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOF12875-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOF12875-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOF12875-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOF12875-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Giorgio Fochesato\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>International orientation is the basis for diversity and, therefore, the cooperation with photographers from all over the world. Among other things, the contributions of our community in Southern Europe have become increasingly important in recent years. This is why the Italian art director and editor Giorgio Fochesato has a crucial role for Westend61: He focuses on the large photographer community in creative hotspots such as Milan or Barcelona and helps the talents there to exploit and develop their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/cms\/vista_collection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vista_Teaser_Button.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vista_Teaser_Button.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vista_Teaser_Button-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vista_Teaser_Button-1024x228.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vista_Teaser_Button-768x171.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/vista_Teaser_Button-1536x341.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>A TRAVELER SUITED FOR THE JOB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering his career, Giorgio Fochesato was predestined for this task. For years he circled the globe as a lifestyle and travel photographer and supplied several photo agencies with his stock photos. The 41-year-old traveled to more than 40 countries before settling in Verona a few years ago to start a family with his partner. In the summer of 2015, he joined Westend61, where initially he also worked as a photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254.jpg\" alt=\"Male doctor writing on clipboard in hospital during COVID-19\" data-id=\"18366\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/how-we-create-a-diverse-portfolio\/male-doctor-writing-on-clipboard-in-hospital-during-covid-19\/\" class=\"wp-image-18366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12254-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236.jpg\" alt=\"Male healthcare worker discussing with doctor through video conference\" data-id=\"18368\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/how-we-create-a-diverse-portfolio\/male-healthcare-worker-discussing-with-doctor-through-video-conference\/\" class=\"wp-image-18368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12236-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212.jpg\" alt=\"Handsome male healthcare worker analyzing X-ray in hospital\" data-id=\"18367\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/how-we-create-a-diverse-portfolio\/handsome-male-healthcare-worker-analyzing-x-ray-in-hospital\/\" class=\"wp-image-18367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GIOF12212-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">\u00a9 Giorgio Fochesato\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the value of Fochesato\u2019s good network in the international photography scene was soon recognized, as these contacts offered Westend61 the opportunity to gain a stronger foothold in the international market.

In his home country of Italy alone, there are around 15 men and women behind the camera with whom he, as art director, maintains contact between them and Westend61 and offers them what sets Westend61 apart from other agencies: in addition to personal support and creative exchange, a good feeling of belonging to an enthusiastic community rather than an anonymous company. \u201cAt Westend61, we have a network where everyone supports each other,\u201d says Giorgio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MIMFF00652-1.jpg\" alt=\"Man with hair stubble seen through glass bowl during sunrise\" class=\"wp-image-18372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MIMFF00652-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MIMFF00652-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MIMFF00652-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MIMFF00652-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MIMFF00652-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Miguel Frias\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year, Spain has increasingly developed into a rich idea pool for Giorgio. Cooperating with the photographers there has helped Westend61 to establish itself even better than before as a set player in the international stock photography market, he explains. Giorgio currently supports no less than 60 photographers in Spain. \u201cThis is very important for the Westend61 community, because there are a lot of very creative people there,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1216\" height=\"1772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327.jpg\" alt=\"Afro woman looking away while leaning on girlfriend\" data-id=\"18373\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/how-we-create-a-diverse-portfolio\/afro-woman-looking-away-while-leaning-on-girlfriend\/\" class=\"wp-image-18373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327.jpg 1216w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327-703x1024.jpg 703w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327-768x1119.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03327-1054x1536.jpg 1054w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1216px) 100vw, 1216px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1348\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman covering Afro girlfriend's eyes\" data-id=\"18374\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/en\/how-we-create-a-diverse-portfolio\/young-woman-covering-afro-girlfriends-eyes\/\" class=\"wp-image-18374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337.jpg 1348w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337-768x912.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/JCCMF03337-1294x1536.jpg 1294w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1348px) 100vw, 1348px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">\u00a9 Jose Carlos Ichiro\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Madrid, Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of the region of Catalonia, has crystallized as a focal point of Giorgio\u2019s work. He gives the following reasons for this: \u201cIt is simply a very international city; you find models from all over the world there; the weather is usually good; and the photographers there are not only very cosmopolitan and creative, but also self-confident and claim to be the best.\u201d Also, and this is a not insignificant plus: \u201cIt is not as expensive there as in Frankfurt or London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GEMF01974-1.jpg\" alt=\"Man carrying little daughter on his arms while wading in the sea\" class=\"wp-image-18376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GEMF01974-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GEMF01974-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GEMF01974-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GEMF01974-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GEMF01974-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Gemma Ferrando\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>BARCELONA COMMUNITY AS VISTA LAUNCHPAD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Southerners from the Iberian Peninsula have their own approach to photographic projects and sometimes a different eye for models. The result is their accent in the imagery, which then adds another exciting nuance to the colorful world of Westend61. This pool of images has also given rise to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/cms\/vista_collection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vista collection<\/a>, to which photographers from all areas of our community have now committed themselves.
