Corbis has signed up 11 new photojournalists in a bid to boost its current affairs, sports and entertainment offerings.

The image-provider announced at Visa Pour l'Image that it has signed up Tim Clayton, Elizabeth Kreutz, David Turnley, Steve Lipofsky, Sandy Haffaker, Brendan Hoffman, Noah Addis, Ricardo Ceppi, Les Stone, Amy Sussman and Trevor Snapp.

Clayton, who was born in Leeds but currently lives in Australia, has won eight World Press Photo awards, including winning first place in the competition in 1994, 2003 and 2008. He has also shot sport around the world, as have Kreutz and Lipofsky. Turnley won the Pulitzer Prize in 1990, while Huffaker, Hoffman and Snapp have been published by some of the world's most prestigious news media. Ceppi, meanwhile, was born in Argentina, and shoots hard news and features across South America. Work by each of the photographers can be found on Corbis' site.
