Table of Contents
1. Search for images
You have several options for searching for images:
1a. Galleries / Collections
Via the galleries / collections in the main navigation (sports photos / cycling / football / …) or via the home page. Corresponding galleries are created for each event and the available images are then listed in these galleries. The latest 10 images are immediately visible. You can navigate to the next images using the links at the end of the list. Once you have found the image you are looking for, click on the thumbnail or the ‘Detail’ button with the shopping cart icon.
1b. Search photos
Using the search: Search by name, event, image number or year (date search will follow at the beginning of 2025) and you will receive a selection of images. The latest 10 images will also appear in a list here. Navigate through the search results at the end. Some search terms have several thousand hits, so please narrow down your search a little. If you do not find your motif, please write to us using the contact form and we will help you. If you have found your desired image, click on the thumbnail or the ‘Detail’ button with the shopping cart icon.
2. Detailed view, licence selection, start order
If you have found a motif in the search and/or gallery and clicked on the ‘Detail’ button or the preview image, a new browser tab/browser window will open and you will be taken to the detailed view of the image. Note: If you have previously set the page to ‘German’, it will currently still change directly to ‘English’. However, a German version of the detail page is coming in spring 2025.
On this detailed view, you will find a larger view of the image (800 pixels) with a watermark and more detailed information about the image, such as the image number (image ID), title of the image, description of the image, date the image was taken and the name of the photographer.
However, selecting the correct licence is crucial for using and downloading the image. You will find this selection to the right of the image in the desktop PC view and below the image in the mobile view (smartphone, tablet). Simply click in one of the four boxes and select the appropriate licence. You can find more information about the appropriate licences and the possible uses on the page www.frontalvision.com/image-licences/
After making your selection, click on the ‘Buy & Download’ button.
3. Order process
By clicking on the button ‘Buy & Download’ your selected image will be added to the shopping cart. You can now search for more images and add them to the shopping cart as well. Incidentally, if you click on ‘Shopping Cart’ in the main menu at the top, you will be taken to the shopping cart.
3a. Shopping basket
In the shopping basket, you have the option of removing images that you have added. You can also add a voucher to do this. To do this, click on the down arrow to the right of the word ‘Add voucher’ and enter your code. The new price will be calculated immediately.
If everything is correct, click on the ‘Proceed to checkout’ button.
3b. Summary and payment
After clicking on the ‘Proceed to checkout’ button, you will be taken to the order summary. You will find your products on the right-hand side and input fields for your data on the left.
