We gather images of military, security and police equipment from across the globe, using a network of international photojournalists and NGO field workers. The images cover every aspect of the arms trade, from the sale to the use of arms. Experienced researchers endeavour to identify any equipment shown in an image before it is added to the databank.
Mispo.org provides access to thousands of images, fully searchable by country, weapon type, photographer and many other fields.
mispo.org is an invaluable tool for:
mispo.org works with professional and amateur photographers from all over the world. We particularly encourage submissions from photographers from the Southern hemisphere and photographers with local knowledge.
mispo.org is a not-for-profit organisation. Users of the databank are asked to pay an annual fee to help cover the cost of maintaining and updating the images and information. The fee is determined by the userŐs status (e.g. the size of the organisation, etc) and we try to keep the cost to a minimum.
Users wishing to purchase an image are put in contact with the image-owner. The price is then negotiated directly between the image-owner and the buyer.
mispo.org does not profit from the sale of any images.
