In a group of photographers, you will surely find some photographers who are having zero complaints regarding their Pay, however, more will tell you that the struggle is real. The Struggle of getting true credit, audience, value, safety, and most important “Fair Reward.” While the world is debating about fair pay for artists, why isn’t anyone really concerned about photographs’ rights and benefits?
With the rise of the internet era photographers have got many opportunities in a digital world where they can showcase their work and get an appreciation for that, however coinciding with this internet has opened a Pandora’s Box of image theft, devaluation, wrongfully licensed, loss of credibility over the creation.
Photographers are nothing without passion, led by the great thrust of crafting a perfect picture. Though due to the rise of image theft, photographers are keeping their masterpieces locked in their hard drives in order to protect their art photos, but options do they have either watching them alone or sharing them on the internet, but what will be the consequences of choosing any of them? Well, either way, photographers will not get the true value of their work.
Why Selling Your Photos to Stock Photography Sites is the Worst Option?
Photographers are often left with one option, i.e to sell their work to stock photography agencies and the copyright as well. While these agencies make a good amount by selling stock images, photographers didn’t get many benefits. A large share of earnings from the sale of these photos is kept by them as they give the valuation of the photo. In other terms, They are the major market players, Stock websites set the bid price for the Photograph on their website. This way they buy a certain picture for say $1000 and sell the same picture on their website for a whopping $2000-$3000, making a profit of more than 2x.
Until today photographers had to rely on photo agencies and mediators to sell their work and often had to pay high cuts and didn’t make much money. Things might change now thanks to Picnab, a new platform that combines NFTs with stock photos to create a blockchain-powered stock image platform.
What blockchain has to do with Photography?
Blockchain technology has nothing to do with photography or any other artistic industry. However, blockchain is the most disruptive technology of this century which mainly associated with the finance industry, but is not limited to that Blockchain has its use cases in every industry that needs transparency and better security systems. In the digital world where nothing is safe, anything can be counterfeit, photographers or artists cannot share their work online. There are also plenty of risks associated with the stock photos being stolen, wrongly redistributed, and false assertions to work. To address these issues blockchain can play a major role in proving copyright and proof-of-ownership for work.
NFT (Non-Fungible Token) has emerged as a much-needed application to protect the rights of artists. NFT provides a way to tokenize an asset that can be traded through a digital exchange. This process involves buyer and seller. In the case of photography, it can be between a photographer as creator and a buyer as a collector.
Picnab Opens the world of Fair rewards for Photographers

Picnab is the first NFT platform for stock photos with the aim of providing fair rewards to photographers for their work.
