Description of Business
Japan based Photography Agency & Production Company specialized in providing editorial content in the form of text stories, photo and video.

Nippon News was established in 2002 by Laurent Benchana. In 2011 ownership was transferred to Aflo Co., Ltd., one of Japan’s biggest digital content producers. Currently Aflo also operates its own website and an English language site too.

Aflo represents both the Mainichi Newspaper, and The Yomiuri Newspaper and also the Nikkan Sports newspaper as well as many other Japanese photographers and smaller agencies. Nippon News aims to leverage these partnerships with the goal of both producing and being able to source and produce relevant images and stories from Japan.

Our concept
Japan, the gateway to Asia for Westerners, has been influential in the world of finance, technology, fashion and media entertainment; yet its unique cultural milieu has made it difficult for foreign media to access information.

At Nippon News, the flexibility of our system allows us to offer a dynamic service which caters to your needs, whatever your domain or industry is (press, communication, edition or internet). Feel free to contact us anytime at contact,nipponnews,net and let us be Your Press Correspondent in Japan.
