FRANK WHITNEY began his professional career in 1977, when he joined The Image Bank (TIB), the first elite picture agency to market the work of the World’s best and most famous photographers to the top advertising agencies and publishing firms around the globe. During his quarter-century with The Image Bank, Whitney produced images that were sold worldwide through TIB’s many of dozens of offices in the major international business capitals. Clients who have used Frank Whitney’s work include IBM, the US Postal Service, United Technologies, Actifed/Sudafed, Smithsonian, National Geographic, Michelin, Southwest Airlines, Kodak, American Express, Mercedes-Benz, Rand McNally, RAYOVAC Batteries, Westinghouse, US News, Lucas Aerospace, Fleet Galaxy Funds, Zenith, and NEC.  His images have also appeared in countless magazines, billboards, and product packaging.

Whitney remained with The Image  Bank until it was absorbed into Getty Images as one of its many brands; the emergence of Getty and many other picture agencies during the age of digital photography and digital delivery ended the “Golden Age” of stock photography. Now semi-retired, Whitney currently lives in Albany, New York.  In addition to editing and scanning 35 years’ worth of his own photography to be printed and sold in the Fine Art market, he serves as VP of The Zinn Arthur Hollywood Archive, which has holdings of approximately one million photographs taken by Mr. Arthur of 66 major motion pictures dating from the 1940s-1970s.
