Many photographers from around the world upload their photos to photostocks, and the same set of designers, marketers, advertising companies, various print and electronic publications buy images for their needs on photostocks. Thus photostocks are an intermediary between photographers and buyers of photos.
For each sold on the photo of his photo, the photographer receives a monetary reward. The amount of remuneration depends on the type of license under which he sold the photo, and whether he sold it exclusively or not. You can think of who needs your photos, and who will buy them, if almost any on the subject of photography can be found and downloaded for free on the Internet?
In Western Europe, America, Australia, China and Japan, buying photos on photostocks is very popular. There people honor the law, fight piracy, and therefore buy photos with the rights of the photographer and model releases. Buying photos on photostocks, they are guaranteed to know that they will find what they want spending the minimum amount of time.They do not have to shovel all Internet in search of a quality appropriate photos, and just need to make a query in the search bar of stock photography and download from there any photo. The picture shows the most popular photostocks
But these most services have the following common disadvantages:
-difficulty in selling photos. Before earnings it is necessary to fill free of charge a portfolio of hundreds of works. It is difficult for newcomers to break through.
-slow moderation. As users write, in sales there are breaks, and for unknown reasons reject worthy pictures.
-you can't put a price on your work.;
-restrictions on the minimum withdrawal of funds;
-pay the authors only about 15-30% of the fee once and in the future he does not know about the fate of their pictures;
-there are intermediaries in the form of banking and electronic payment systems that take commissions and there are delays in payments.
As you can see from the above, this pushes many photographers and reduces their earnings several times possible, but this problem is taken to solve the project Wemark!
Wemark creates a decentralized platform-a photo licensing market, with copyright protection, eliminating intermediaries in the form of photostocks that can increase the price of content and payment systems, thus users will purchase them at the best prices.
Photographers easily upload their works to the site, set prices for them, wait for customers to contact them and start cooperating through smart contracts. In smart contracts immediately negotiated all the terms of use of the author's content: where, how many times, if used more, then immediately goes payment without delay, as they are automated without human intervention. All these benefits increase the speed of data processing by several times, the reward is paid instantly, no need to wait for a few days or reach the minimum payout amount.
All of these operations, the transaction is recorded in the blockchain Ethereum, you can see at any time. As a bonus, the project makes a good gift in the form of lifelong licensing to those authors who upload works until may 1, 2018. Customers can also purchase photos for fiat money, they will be automatically converted into tokens of the wemark platform, which are the main means of payment.
This decentralization presents a completely new approach to the development of the photo industry, giving full transparency of the use of all products, to be a full owner of their creations, increasing the potential audience of customers. Your earnings compared to traditional centralized photostocks will increase to 85%.
Let's say your business is engaged in a travel agency and you need pictures of a distant country, but you will not spend money on it, sending your employee for several photos. You will do well, take advantage of Wemark, find the best quality photos for key requests and ready. Token sale will begin on may 7, 2018.
