Hi friends, are there any free high quality scans of any Magnum photographers(or photographers alike)? Would love to print some of their photos and hang them in living room. I know Peter van Agtmael once shared his photos online for free and limited time but i missed it. So im wondering if anybody can help me with that. I am interested in particular in Ai Weiwei ( Study of perception) and Abbas, Josef Koudelka, Alex Webb… Thanks!

Magnum sells prints for hundreds or thousands of dollars each. It would be super cool if there were some available for free, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The Library Of Congress has many high resolution files for free download, such as historical FSA photographers. You probably won’t find any Magnum photographers here, but many other greats…
Wow time for a reality check. Magnum sells prints themselves. What do you think; that they’ll be copyright-free downloadable in poster size hi-res? Now what would be in it for an Alex Webb to give his work away for free? Buy books and buy prints of artists you admire but don’t go searching for free work of real artists because that is, without a doubt, piracy.
magnum is a commercial agency selling prints for five diggies minimum. you’re not gonna find their shit for free.
Not completely true, they’ve got enough stuff for arouund 100. Especially their square print sale is interesting, offering hand signed or estate stamped Magnum Photos for €125,-.
