Photocentra.com is an NFT photo marketplace and photo community based in Berlin. Photocentra aims to give authors a wide exposure and the opportunity to sell their photo works with the help of NFT — the latest blockchain based technology.

NFTs are tokens that we can use to represent ownership of unique items. They let us tokenize things like art, photos, collectibles, even real estate. They can only have one official owner at a time and they’re secured by blockchain — no one can modify the record of ownership or copy/paste a new NFT into existence.

The biggest use of NFTs today is in the digital content realm. That’s because that industry today is broken. Content creators see their profits and earning potential swallowed by platforms.

An artist publishing work on a social network makes money for the platform that sells advertisements to the artist`s followers. They get exposure in return, but exposure doesn’t pay the bills.

NFTs power a new creator economy where creators don’t hand ownership of their content over to the platforms they use to publicise it. Ownership is baked into the content itself. When creators sell their content, funds go directly to them.

Photocentra marketplace

We created a first-of-its-kind stock photo marketplace so photographers can sell their work and get 100% of the value instead of pennies from other stock marketplaces.

By adding your work to the NFT Marketplace you prove your rights to it, and this information is stored in the blockchain, so no one can manipulate it.

Photocentra charges ZERO FEES to photographers. You always get 100% of the photo price directly to your wallet. Photographers are rewarded for minting their work with $PHOTO tokens.

Buyers pay a 4.9% fee, which goes to buyback $PHOTO tokens to create value for holders.

By adding works to the marketplace you receive rewards in the form of $PHOTO tokens according to the following chart.

Upload photos to the marketplace and get $PHOTO tokens

Photocentra community

The photo community is separate from the marketplace and has restrictions on uploading photos and three types of paid accounts: Plus, Premium and Pro. Accounts for a small fee extend the functionality of the community and help us keep it free for most users.

Photos added to the community gallery can also be offered for sale via NFT tokens.

The marketplace is for stock photos, and the community is for any art photos also available for sale.
