Photographers have their own NFTs now!!
I will admit, I was a little jealous when NFT Showroom launched because it is mainly for art and not really for photographers. Well the geniuses behind NFT Showroom have done it again and launched an NFT Site for Photography.
Lensy is a brand new NFT Gallery that utilizes the Hive Blockchain in a way that could help to revolutionize NFTs. There are a lot of places in the crypto space that you can sell your work as an NFT, but the Hive Blockchain doesn't have those extra GAS fees or that other stuff that you need with worry about with the Etherium Blockchain.
To start out, I have created two NFTs to be sold on Lensy. Each one of the NFTs have three editions and once they are sold, they will be gone forever. I have included full commercial rights for these photos and I plan on doing that for all future NFTs that I create. I would rather the person that buys my work be able to do whatever they wanted with it.
"Up in smoke"
"Fire Within"
Be sure to check out the Lensy Announcement Post to get more info on Lensy and how it all works. The website is very easy to navigate and a boomer like me found it very user-friendly to create my own NFTs.
Here is some info about the pricing and fees:
Pricing
Photographers are charged 5 Swap.Hive when tokenizing a new photo and 1 Swap.Hive for each edition (additional NFT) they would like to release.
Commission Fees
The marketplace takes a 10% commission on sales. The first time a photo is sold a 10% commission on the sale goes exclusively to @lensy.
As you can see, it is pretty cheap and easy to create your own NFT for your photography.
If you are a photographer or a lover of photography and want to start collecting high quality photos, be sure to check out Lensy and get your gallery going.
Thanks for this post. I've signed up to the whitelist. Hopefully I get accepted soon so I can start to share my work through yet another platform. :)
That is awesome. Make sure to join their discord as well so you can help with getting the site user experience better for everyone.
Wow. This is exciting. I'm no photographer, but I've taken tens of thousands of frames and have a couple of accidental good photos.
Thanks. I'm excited about the possibilities.
Ya, it is pretty cool. I have tried some of the stock photo sites, but never really put much effort into getting my stuff on those. This is a whole lot better considering we have a large community around it as well.
I'd be curious to see the stats of how many people are buying these. Where is that available, if it exists?
no stats for now, as it is day one of it.

I see, guess I didn't read that hard! Awesome idea and great way to bring new hivers into the platform. I have a friend that's an artist I was telling about hive, but I guess you can NFT real art. When will hive compete with Etsy!
Let me know if your friend needs an account made.

this seems interesting
Nice project. Thanks for mentioning!
I've done some stock photograpy in the past and made quite a few bucks with it.
And spend it all on new gear 😀
I quit doing it because photographing isolated objects is quite boring and editing the photo's is quite time consuming 😂
Is the platform also meant for this kind of photo's? I couldn't find any of them in the gallery. I still have a lot of stock pictures, so it might be interesting to upload them to Lensy.
Nice submissions by the way.
Stock photos that you have taken before and submitted are ones that usually should not be used. These photos that are for NFTs are more meant to be rare and not really ones that have been sold to others.
Tokenization of photography is another possibility offered by nft. I became interested in this topic myself because it is another opportunity to earn money. For those interested, I recommend this post: https://nftmonk.com/how-to-sell-photos-as-nft-easy-guide-for-modern-artists/
