Midwest Visual Press Agency was founded with a clear mission: to provide clients with high-quality visuals while helping our contributors advance their careers. We specialize in capturing powerful moments from news, cultural, entertainment, and sporting events throughout the Midwest.
We serve clients of all sizes, from nationwide news organizations to Substack authors and everyone in between. We pride ourselves on offering a streamlined image licensing process. Our website offers a clean, user-friendly interface, and we make it easy for clients to access and license the imagery they need.
What sets us apart from other wire services is our commitment to integrity, honesty, and storytelling. We believe in creating a space for photographers to thrive, offering a responsive, US-based agency that supports its contributors with event access, an 80/20% commission split in their favor, and valuable learning opportunities.
Founded by Greg Hauenstein, a photographer with over a decade of experience, MVP was built to offer an affordable alternative to larger wire services. It also provides photographers with a platform where they can be credentialed by a trusted US-based agency.
We maintain high-quality standards for every image we accept, and our no-AI policy ensures that the images we deliver are authentic, and captured by skilled photographers with a keen eye for storytelling.
At MVP we are dedicated to giving publications of all sizes an affordable venue to access high-quality imagery that captures the essence of events happening in the Midwest. Whether you’re covering a local sports event or a cultural festival, we’re here to ensure that your visual content is as impactful as your stories.
