For nature photographers
Your nature images deserve an audience
Kina represents a select group of nature photographers and brings their work to publishers, nature organisations and designers. Personal, careful and with an eye for the species behind the image.

Why Kina
A small picture library with a great love for nature
Buyers looking for nature
Your work reaches nature organisations, publishers, magazines and design agencies that are deliberately looking for well-documented nature imagery.
Personal contact
No anonymous upload platform. You have a fixed contact who thinks along with you about what is in demand and which images the collection is missing.
A carefully kept collection
Every image has the right species name and location. That is how it gets found and bought, instead of disappearing among millions of other photos.
How it works
From application to your first sale
We are selective, so your work stands out. You will always hear from us, even if it is not a fit right now.
Send in your application
Tell us briefly who you are and share a link to 15 to 25 of your best nature images.
We review your work
Once a month we review all applications. After that we let you know what we think.
Getting acquainted
Does your work fit our collection? Then we schedule a phone call to get to know each other.
Getting started
You supply your images and we will do our best to sell them. You receive a payout statement periodically.
What we look for
Images that are technically right and tell a story
- Correct focus, exposure and composition
- Commercially usable, for publishers, nature organisations and designers
- An addition to the collection: species, behaviour or areas we are still missing
- Genuine: no manipulated images
- Correct species names and location data
- Made in line with the nature photography code of conduct
