Nur in Arabic means "light." Founded in 2013 by photojournalist Manuel Romano, NurPhoto Agency aims to shed light on stories, places, and events that provoke thought and spark curiosity. Our mission is to raise questions rather than provide answers, delivering images that explore the human condition and seek beauty, even in dramatic or spectacular moments.
As a global leader in quality photography, NurPhoto delivers over 1,500 photos daily, covering major events in news, politics, economics, sports, and entertainment from around the world. Our vibrant and dynamic approach—rooted in the ethos of "street photography"—captures the poetry of everyday life by immersing ourselves in the social fabric of the people we document.
NurPhoto aspires to foster global awareness by disseminating news and visuals from an international perspective. Our focus on humanistic and multicultural themes is supported by an international team of correspondents, journalists, photographers, graphic designers, translators, and videographers.
To ensure the widest possible distribution of our work, NurPhoto partners with other agencies and leverages digital platforms to share compelling visual stories worldwide.
