PhotoFeed is a project spear-headed by @jrue, @aweber, @yumyumseth and @cryptoctopus that aims to improve the experience of those who want to see beautiful professional photography on steemit.com
If you are a professional photographer, you are probably frustrated by the #photography tag at this point. The main reason we've found that the photography tag falls flat is that nearly every post, regardless of the topic, includes the photography tag. Essentially, browsing the photography tag is useless.
While we wait for the future developments that will make the experience on the steem blockchain more pleasant, the @photofeed project is moving forward to provide a solution immediately while building solutions for the future.
Our solution has 4 parts:
- Launching the #photofeed hashtag
- Having a powerful curation trail that is profitable for everyone
- Weekly round-up post to increase the exposure and share the rewards with great artists
- Getting ready for communities as well as a possible app down the line
How to Participate
- Join our curation trail at steemauto.com
- Post your high quality photography using the #photofeed hashtag
- Get rewarded for your good work!
Incentives
@PhotoFeed has the backing of @cryptoctopus and he is sponsoring this initiative with his vote. To maximize participation and curation rewards for others, he will upvote 30 minutes after we do. If you upvote before we do (and @cryptoctopus), not only will you help people find good photography but you will also make a profit doing so!
Plans for the Future
The community feature should come within the next few months, opening much needed improvements in the discoverability of content while allowing for better moderation. With the support of @cryptoctopus, we will bootstrap a PhotoFeed community that empowers amateur and professional photographers to share their art.
An app/website and/or a Smart Media Token specialized for high quality photography is not out of the question either but we will wait until we have a better understanding of the technology landscape before we move forward with these ideas.
