The list of the most iconic photos for 2013 according to the Getty Images photo bank has been published. As expected, the powers that be, from President Putin to the Duchess of Cambridge with a newborn son in her arms, fell into it. We will talk about the brightest shots taken by photographers over the past year, and Getty Images in particular, in our review.

In the early days of digital, Mark Getty and Jonathan Klein decided to create a website that would digitize traditional paper photographs at the time. This is how the Getty Images photo bank was born, which gradually took a leading position among similar sites.

Here, the most famous photographs in the entire history of mankind accumulated, from magnificent weddings to pictures of tragedies, natural disasters and protests. A simple search system allowed the most uneducated users to use the site. Music lovers could download cleaned tracks to Getty Images, and moviegoers could be the first to appreciate the latest videos.

But photographs were and are still the main ones. They are the ones that critics evaluate every year, choosing the best shots. And it was they who managed to glorify Getty Images all over the world, turning an ordinary site into a famous photo bank. How unremarkable Bob Carey was able to glorify the usual pink ballet tutu and a great desire to help his wife defeat cancer. Sometimes such pictures are much more appreciated than the dance of the Obama couple at the inauguration or the joy of the actress before receiving the Oscar.
