It was founded in 1991 by Tom Hughes, Mark Callaghan and Mark Torrance, who later became the chief executive officer and chairman.[1] After receiving the catalog in the mail, customers would write or phone the office and order the photos or pre-made collections by charter artists Clement Mok{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} or Nick Koudis{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} which would then be shipped to them on CD-ROM. In the fall of 1995, their website was launched[2] making business more convenient as it was no longer necessary to wait for shipping as photos could be downloaded directly from the website, the catalog option was still available, though. In September 1997, PhotoDisc agreed to combine with London-based Getty Communications to form the Seattle-based Getty Images.[3] In February 1998, at the closure of the acquisition, PhotoDisc's library amounted to 60,000 images.[4] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970916&slug=2560779 | work=The Seattle Times | first=Polly | last=Lane | title=Photodisc, Getty Form Imaging Firm | date=September 16, 1997}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-17959266.html|title=Image is everything.(West Stock and PhotoDisc introduce Web sites) (Internet Watch) (Company Business and Marketing)(Brief Article)|last=Crotty|first=Cameron|date=February 1, 1996 |work=Macworld |accessdate=2008-10-06}}{{dead link|date=February 2019|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} 3. ^The Getty-PhotoDisc Deal: Image is Everything - Business Week 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/archives/1998/9802100063.asp |title=PHOTODISC MERGER TO OPEN NEW HORIZONS |last=Wilson |first=Warren |date=February 10, 1998 |work=Seattle Post-Intelligencer |accessdate=2008-10-08 }}{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} External links
