Discover how a new blockchain based platform can reshape the stock photography industry

Are you passionate about photography? Do you love taking shooting products, portraits or nature? Are you continue improving your skills and upgrading your gear? Have you ever considered selling your photographs online and making some extra bucks? Wouldn’t you love seeing your work featured in blogs, magazines, websites or ads? Without a doubt, your photos would reach millions of people, and you would finally get the appreciation you deserve. Don’t get too excited... even if all this sounds good, there are some things you are probably not yet aware of. First of all, did you know that most stock photo marketplaces take a fee of up to 85% of your work? Second of all, were you even aware that by uploading your images on such a platform you usually give up your rights?

You simply have to do a little research online to find out that millions of creators and artists across the globe pay ridiculous fees to and discard most of their rights to advertising agencies or various content marketplaces. Probably you know all of these issues of the stock photo industry... but have decided to resign, believing this market cannot be transformed.

Regardless of what group you are part of and what is your previous experience in this field, there is good news! Things might be changing for the better, sooner than you’d have expected!
