Magnum Photos is an international photographic agency, with offices located in New York, Paris, London and Tokyo.

War photographers Robert Capa, David "Chim" Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, Bill Vandivert, along with Maria Eisner and Rita Vandivert founded Magnum in 1947, responding to their World War II experiences. Magnum is one of the first photographic cooperatives, owned and administered entirely by members. The staff serve a support role for the photographers who retain all copyrights to their own work.

The Magnum cooperative has included photojournalists from across the world and has covered many historical events of the 20th century. The cooperative's archive includes photographs depicting family life, drugs, religion, war, poverty, famine, crime, government and celebrities.
