The NOOR team is a small, international group, working to create ethical, relevant and high-calibre visual stories and educational programmes. Contact us at our Amsterdam headquarters.

NOOR Images is an Amsterdam-based, international platform for visual storytelling. Alongside the agency, the NOOR Foundation focuses on creating opportunities for visual education and capacity building in ethical visual journalism and documentary practices. 

We approach our work with integrity, passion, and respect and believe stories have an impact and inspire action. We believe in the power of still and moving images. We are honest witnesses.

NOOR, which takes its name from the Arabic word for light, launched in 2007 as a platform for its members to take financial control over their work and leverage the power of a group in a changing media landscape. NOOR Images was founded in this year by Claudia Hinterseer and member photographers Pep Bonet, Stanley Greene, Yuri Kozyrev, Kadir van Lohuizen, Francesco Zizola and former members Jan Grarup, Samantha Appleton, Philip Blenkinsop and Jodi Bieber.

The NOOR foundation and agency work with multiple international clients, collaborators and partners. As industry leaders, we produce work for large media companies and small startups, institutional clients and non-profits. 

We believe in accessible education and sharing knowledge on visual storytelling, media literacy and representation. While the content of our work is broad, it is unified in our desire to connect the dots around critical issues such as climate crisis, over consumption, forced migration, the rise of authoritarianism, the injustices of patriarchy and the power of art and music to keep us human.
