MANHATTAN BEACH. Calif., Dec. 8, 2009 — Transtock, Inc., a stock photography business specializing in transportation images, recently finalized a deal with Hachette Filipacchi Media. For the first time, both the still images and HD video footage from Road & Track and Car and Driver magazines will be available for licensing. The inclusion of this collection furthers the growth of Transtock and maintains their position as the largest stock image and footage library specializing in transportation images. “Having stock photos made available from these two celebrated brands enriches our library and offerings to clients,” said Dean Siracusa, Transtock founder and president.
“We’re very pleased to be working with Transtock to provide our images and video,” said Zvia Herrmann, VP Brand Development for Car and Driver and Road & Track. “Richard Baron, Road & Track Design Director, suggested Transtock as a licensing partner and it seemed a natural fit since we shoot such an abundance of automotive imagery that can be used for other purposes.”
