The year is nearly over, so what better time to take a look back through some of the highlights for Sonic Editions in 2021?

It was an eventful year to say the least, with many new photographers added to the archive, as well as some already established galleries and photographers being refreshed with new content. Our garage grew with the arrival of excellent car photographers Huseyin Erturk and Marco Annunziata at the start of the year and while most of us were unable to physically get abroad in 2021, our travel photography collection can now transport you to all 4 corners of the world.

Music definitely did not take a backseat this year either with 90s artists and Hip Hop royalty now available to purchase courtesy of Phil Knott and our images of iconic Hollywood has never been more varied after the Northcliffe Archive was added to the site.

These are just a few of the many examples of new content for this year but we also launched our wall curation service, helping you create a wall of beautiful photography tailored and personalised just for you. Our bespoke printing service has been very successful in 2021 as well, with some jaw dropping images printed and framed to fill the biggest of spaces on your walls.

Read on to see more of what we were up to throughout 2021.
