NFTs have been the talk of the town for a while now because of their unlimited capabilities and the ability to transform various art verticals. Digital photography has seen a sudden influx of interest in NFTs because of their several features that help in optimizing the sub-par functionalities that the photographers have been forced to live in.

What makes NFTs truly beneficial for photographers is that they will help them utilize the power of the internet without worrying about image theft, which has always been a concern. While a helpful resource, social media holds no one accountable, even if they share counterfeit images. Every day millions of photos are counterfeited and shared endlessly, resulting in monetary and credibility losses for the creators.

An NFT is a non-fungible token assigned to a real-world asset and registered on a blockchain with all the information about the asset. NFTs can address this problem efficiently as they are registered on the blockchain, which is immutable. By assigning a photo an NFT, the image’s ownership becomes permanent which can be easily tracked.

Picnab has taken the NFT approach to the next level by creating a stock image platform that acts as an NFT marketplace where photographers and digital artists can share their work and sell it to potential buyers.

How are NFTs the saving grace for photographers?

Photographers since the dawn of social media have been a victim of copyright infringement and intellectual property theft. Undoubtedly social media has a broad reach that tempts photographers to market their services. However, with this broad reach comes unaccountability which harms the original creators in more than one way.

Due to the lack of a better marketing platform, photographers have to limit themselves to social media. However, NFTs have created a new opportunity for photographers leading to their widespread appreciation. Platforms such as Picnab not only add copyright to a digital image but also helps to market them.

Obtaining copyright using the traditional means is a tedious process and costs money. However, assigning an NFT to an image is a straightforward process made even safer because of blockchain technology.

Photographers can now rest easy and enjoy several benefits brought by NFTs, such as the broad reach in the ever-growing crypto community. NFTs can be purchased using fiat and cryptocurrencies and are generally stored in a hardware wallet, making them secure and profitable. Picnab has developed a stock image NFT marketplace where the rewards multiply for both the creators and the platform users.

How is Picnab headlining the NFT revolution for photographers?

Picnab is built with an aim to address the problems faced by photographers and provide them with a blockchain-powered solution. It is an NFT marketplace and a stock image platform where artists can upload their original artwork as an NFT and sell them.

However, what makes Picnab truly unique is its stock image platform, where users can download copies of the original image for free and use it for personal or commercial use. Downloading a copy of the artwork will benefit the creators as they will be rewarded with PIC, the reward token of Picnab. PIC token will be listed on major exchanges and is used as the primary medium of the transaction within the ecosystem.

As both the photographer and user will benefit from Picnab, it has developed a win-win solution that addresses the problems faced by photographers and allows them to market their talents.
