HOW PHOTOS CAN BE LICENSED DIRECTLY FROM TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS

in photography •  7 years ago 

Firstly looking into trading of photos i.e buying and selling of photos is quite weird thinking of the fact that you can actually google search an image and download as many as you want. Still looking at this subject, we have different platforms through which different photos based on categories can be bought; a popular example is shuttersock. Here, the photographer gets paid for everyone buying his photo. There's one major disadvantage here being the fact that these photo-selling platforms serve as an intermediary between the photographer and potential buyers and in turn tends to reduce whatever profit being made by the photographer. Asides the fact that these platforms acts as an intermediary, we also have problems of moderation, pricing of photos as these photos can be under priced, minimum amount of profit before withdrawal, incurred fees and so much more. In general, these platforms bring about difficulty in selling photos having considered so many restrictions. what if we have a photo-market which takes intermediaries off the equation? what if there's a platform through which these difficulties can be avoided. On this note i will be discussing a project whose platform solves all these.

Wemark
Wemark is a decentralized blockchain platform which creates a photo licensing platform. In this platform, all photos are protected by copyright and it has a lot of advantages unlike regular photo-market which we will look into. Wemark is being developed to handle every single type of digital content available in the web by using a protocol that will allow content creators to deal directly with their customer base by using a Blockchain-powered platform to sign off their preferred content by a pre-established fee using s smart contract.

What makes Wemark different?

Price control: On wemark, photographers will be offered different prices and the final price has to be approved by the photographer before it is licenced.
Full transparency: Wemark protocol will ensure that content is handled in the terms stated in the smart contract to avoid copyright infringements or inappropriate use by third parties.

Increased profit of photographers: Wemark's flagship offering is the ability of creators to collect 85% of royalty payments over the full price paid by the customer. The remaining 15% will be collected by the company to keep the ecosystem's operation running. If unforeseen circumstances force Wemark to change their royalty rate policy in the future, no deal signed off until that point will be affected.

How it works
On wemark, photographers easily upload their works on the platform, set final prices for the photos after which it is licensed, then wait for customers to contact them in which the rest is done through smart contracts. The smart contract executes once both parties meet up with these terms and conditions. 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. You can always get paid immediately.

About token and token sale
Wemark is already an existing company with its platform already running. Wemark will be holding its tokensale with Wemark token which is to empower direct economy of digital content distribution.

Token sale starts 7th of June, 2018.
