Mission Statement

Jerry Driendl, through the formation of The Driendl Group, hopes to “fulfill specific needs in the industry as requested by the world renowned Getty Images and other international agencies”. He knows firsthand of the unlimited opportunities that are available through the dynamic and exciting medium of photography and aspires to share his knowledge with others.

His plans to assemble a select group of individuals, to form what will be The Driendl Group, will offer him an opportunity to expose group members to the concept of stock photography. Through mentoring, on an individual basis, members will benefit from Jerry’s fifteen plus years in the stock photography industry. His techniques and perspectives, that have made him one of Getty’s top forty photographers, will be shared with members for the purpose of refining skills and establishing a unique style inherent to each photographer. These traits will enable members to create marketable and sought after images for Getty and other agencies.

Having acquired valuable knowledge of the stock industry, Jerry hopes for members to have become inspired to apply their insight and seek to establish individual contracts. If desired, members may remain within The Driendl Group.

In either case, it is Jerry’s mission that, being part of The Driendl Group, will offer to each member a fresh perspective to the world of stock photography. The Driendl Group skills and experience obtained by each member will enable them to pursue the vast opportunities that exist in the industry of photography.
