Corporate social responsibility is growing in importance, and yet even today many firms tend to lack it. Corporate social responsibility is when some firm cares about the wellbeing of those involved with the firm’s business. Most companies in the photography industry today fail to maintain corporate social responsibility, however Wemark is going to bring corporate social responsibility (CSR) back into the photography industry.

Traditional marketing firms in the photography industry charge photographers’ massive fees to market their work. Most of these firms are not concerned with how this affects the photographer, and because of the lack of corporate social responsibility of these firms many photographers have to suffer and keep hustling to earn a proper living.

How is Wemark improving CSR in photography industry?

Wemark is using blockchain to make marketplace for stock photos.
Now with Wemark photographers will earn a lot more money for their work because Wemark will charge a much smaller fee than traditional firms, and not only that photographers will also know who is receiving their photos and what they plan on doing with those pictures. This is a much more ethical way to run a business. Proper earnings for everyone involved, especially the photographers because after all the most important aspect of the photography industry are the photographers.

Also, Wemark will allow photographers to choose their own prices for the pictures they choose to sell. It is important that photographers have the right to decide the retail price for their pictures because they are the ones who made them and it is morally correct to let the photographers decide the price for their own photos.

The retail price of the photo will affect the photographers themselves. For example, if a company consistently undervalues the photographer’s work the photographer directly loses money. This is why Wemark is making a good decision by allowing photographers to choose their own prices, this way the photographers can choose the prices that they believe best suits their work. Letting photographers know their buyers is also great way raise the ethical standards. If the photographer believes a company is unethical, the photographer they will have the ability to not let them download the photo or buy it.
