Redlink Asian Photography Network Limited (www.redlinkimages.com) specializes in the creation and licensing of content on China and Asia for worldwide media professionals.  Its business scope includes 4 main areas:  single image sourcing, features & reportage, assignment services and production services.  Redlink is founded in 2004.

Single Image Sourcing

Redlink provides a special service to media partners in the sourcing of China content.  The owners of Redlink have 2 decades of experience and connection in the Chinese photography circle and can source various types of China content with relative ease.  Content categories range from archival, arts, fine arts, celebrity, business, lifestyle, travel to special interests.  Redlink acts in one of 2 ways – a consultant role or a principal role.  In a consultant role Redlink assists its media partner in identifying, negotiating, editing and gathering targeted content for licensing.  In a principal role Redlink represents or owns the content and allows its media partners to sub-license on its behalf.

Features & Reportage

Redlink represents over 200 photographers and writers based in Asia and all corners of Greater China.  Redlink takes pride in helping magazine and newspaper editors tap into the deep and broad Chinese & Asian content resource.  Its objective is to facilitate worldwide publishers’ effort to report on China and Asia. 

Many of Redlink’s feature creators are specialists in their fields.  Their dedication results in inspiring and in-depth stories.  Their local focus allows them to be on top of fast changing trends.  Redlink feature categories include Arts, Adventure, Business, City Break, Culture & Traditions, Geography & Nature, Gourmet & Health, History, Human Interest, Leisure Travel and Recreation Travel.  Stories can be licensed as ready pieces or created to specific requests based on researched story ideas.
