Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sell baby photos for charity
The couple’s daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, was born on 27 May in Namibia. The “highly anticipated” photos, which are expected to fetch millions of dollars, will be distributed by Getty Images, the photo agency said.
The couple said they “celebrated” the birth of their daughter, but wanted to help less fortunate newborn children in the developing world.
A joint statement said: “We recognise that two million babies born every year in the developing world die on the first day of their lives. These children can be saved, but only if governments around the world make it a priority.”
Marc Kurschner, a senior vice president of photo agency Wire Image, said prices for exclusive photos of celebrity families had soared in the last few years.
Getty did not reveal details of the licensing deal, when the pictures were taken or how publication rights were being offered to newspapers and magazines.
Jolie, 30, already has two adopted children, Cambodian-born son Maddox, 4, and daughter Zahara, 1. Last year Pitt, 42, announced his intention to become adoptive father to Jolie’s children.
