Pricing your photographic genius can be one of the most difficult tasks for a passionate photographer. If your price is too high, you are likely to lose a great opportunity but if it’s too low, then your work tends to lose sheen. The worst-case scenario happens when you take up photography work without considering the cost of doing business till you actually GO OUT OF BUSINESS!

There is a multitude of ways that photographs can be priced but for that, you need to get hold of the right platform that values your work for the passion of it. If one has to judge how to create photography pricing based on the traditional laws of demand and supply, then maybe it is not the right profession for you. If you notice hard, some professionals work at the lowest prices while some are able to demand great prices in a way dictating the industry.

Photography is a creative profession and every professional is different with a different combination of skill and style unique to them. The success of the photographer is squarely on their shoulder because one needs to incessantly build skills and brands that people are willing to pay for. Another better alternative? A great platform that ensures your work reaches the right spot, to the right buyers and gets you the right price.

Understanding the economics of digital images

Before we proceed to learn more about the platform we should understand some hard facts about the profession. It is important to note that digital images cost more to the photographers. What must be known is that the storage and software related to developing the images come with substantial costs. The moment a digital image is released, then photographers are automatically releasing the license which allows the usage of the image without paying for royalty which photographers deserve at every count. Logically speaking the upfront price of the file should include the price for its use and also its multiple uses which do not happen.

In one way, we are all guilty of downloading photographs without even wondering if the creator is getting the right value for the digital imagery.

How Picnab ensures professional fetch true value

Picnab presents itself as a holistic platform that aims to provide innovative solutions to these problems. It provides a platform for those with a creative bent of mind, to transcend their thoughts, showing their true potential without the fear of being underpaid or undervalued. Picnab, in particular, is a crusader for the struggles of a photographer by ensuring they get paid for their work and enjoy ownership of their work. Picnab explores the concept of Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the power of blockchains to provide photographers complete ownership for their work.

When someone tries to emulate a photographer’s art, they either do so out of neglect or malicious intent. Once the images are on the internet, they can be downloaded and used multiple times. As a result, the photographer’s work loses monetary value and this has irked the photographer community as a whole. Also when the photographer shares his/her on any third-party platform, they give the platform the freedom to use their images but these transactions and contracts lack any transparency. The platforms take undue advantage in return for exposure but the digital imagery is exploited and photographers do not get what they truly deserve. Photographers have also tried to use watermark for their images to prevent such mishaps but with the latest technology and tools, it is easy to manipulate that also. The photographers then refrain from posting their work on digital platforms because of this and lose out on opportunities to gain recognition, fame, and monetary value.

Picnab works on rewarding with PIC tokens

In order to make the platform beneficial for everyone involved Picnab rewards the photographers/artists with a PIC token. Digital imagery creators can choose to keep or sell their work as NFT and if users download or use copies of the original work, the creators will be rewarded with PIC which is tradeable in the crypto market.

Picnab locks this problem with its solution which is NFT on the blockchain. Since Blockchain is immutable, no one can maneuver the ownership and value of the work of art. This way photographers do not have to deal with digital theft and also get their digital images onto the right platforms for sale. When these assets are tokenized as NFTs they can claim complete ownership. On top of that Picnab also allows them to see their work on a truly decentralized platform which allows them to monetize their stock images. Once stored as a tokenized asset, the value cannot be modified, edited with the ownership remaining with the token holder until they sell it to the buyer.
