agrarfoto.com - a beautiful selection - DetailsIn summer 2001 the agricultural teacher and press photographer Hans-Peter Zwicklhuber founds the website agrarfoto.com - the Best of agriculture images. Ing. Bernhard Weber, editor in chief of Austria's biggest agricultural paper "Blick ins Land" supports this interesting project.
Already in 2002 pictures are sent to several publishing houses - photos are then still delivered on CD. At the same time globl.net programs an incredibly fast photo database, in addition to the web design of www.kick-image.at. Very rapidly the size of this database exceeds 20.000 photos in 350 categories. More than 100.000 search items guarantee a quick and simple search.
In February 2003 agrarfoto.com starts its huge online image database. It impresses with simple and clear design and its breakneck speed.
Shortly afterwards, Hans-Peter Zwicklhuber takes the first place in the Austrian qualifying contest of the EPPA-photo competition (European Photo Press Award) and takes part in the European qualifying contest in Oslo. If you want to see the winner photos, just input "eppa" into the search function of the database.
Since October 2003 a newsletter is regularly issued at the beginning of each month which informs about new pictures. Including assignment to respective topics and tips for quicker search. Besides, a new statistics-function allows users to control their individual photo-downloads.
In November 2003 Josef Kiesenebner starts his employment with agrarfoto.com. Apart from photo handling and translations into English, he is mainly engaged with customer relations and administrative affairs.
Therefore, the entire database is also available in English language, including all search items.
In 2004 Hans-Peter Zwicklhuber successfully attends the school for "cattle photography" in Canada. He is therefore Austria's only trained cattle photographer.
