About mptv
mptv is committed to preserving the memory of some of the greatest celebrity legends of our time. From their humble moments to their grand accomplishments, we are proud to offer one of the largest collections of celebrity photography available today.

Our Founder
mptv Founder and photographer Sid Avery transformed photography during the Golden Age. He was known as the man who could catch the best candid shots of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities – a fleeting moment, a private glance, or a behind-the-scenes glimpse into who they really were.

Contributing Photographers
mptv features the work of more than 60 photographers who have dedicated their life’s work to preserving the vital art of photography, and in the process have captured some of the most famous celebrity images ever recorded.

We believe that we’ve captured some truly unforgettable moments, like when Frank Sinatra recorded his famous album "Come Swing with Me!," or when Jackie Kennedy played in the sand with little Caroline at her home in Hyannis Port – these moments reflect the true spirit of our subjects, as well as the spirit of our great history. These vital images have the ability to captivate the imagination and transport us back to the past, reminding us of who we are and where we’ve been.

mptv is passionate about preserving the memory of some of the greatest legends of our time through the art of still photography. We offer one of the largest and continually expanding collections of entertainment photography in the world – images from Hollywood’s Golden Age and all the way up to the present day.

Our collection includes some 1 million celebrity and entertainment related images taken by more than 60 photographers from around the world. We are pleased to license our collection to enrich your stories with our inspiring imagery.
