Pixoto Makes Photography Fun
While there are plenty of photography sites and communities, the ability to share on social media, and places to participate in photo contests, there are not many online services that combine all these things. Enter Pixoto, a startup offering an online community for photographers to compete for the best images in their category. It delivers more than other image sharing sites like Flickr, adding an element of gamification to the sharing. While some of these sites may feature contests, it can be complicated and take a long time to figure out, while Pixoto is extremely simple. Eventually, the best photos can even begin to make money, and there is an option for the best photographers to sell their photos.
Pixoto utilizes a community ranking system to sort out photos by quality, whereby all users need to do is submit a photo and the website does the rest. It uses its own proprietary ImageDuel® software to randomly pit two photos, each submitted by a different user. Members then individually pick their favorite from the two randomly selected photos, and eventually the best photos begin to emerge. These duels add an element of fun, and users can continue indefinitely to vote on randomly selected photos shown side-by-side. Photos receive points for each victory and lose points for losses. Good photographers enjoy the feedback, support, and exposure of their work, while others can work to improve. With tech support features that extend to any browser or device, anyone can access Pixoto anytime they wish.
The social aspect of Pixoto’s service is evident, but there is even more than just what the website’s community offers. Helpfully, because it is so widely accessible, anyone can still access its service even if he or she is waiting for computer support for a PC or mobile device. The best photos receive awards, and users’ social media networks receive notifications. This occurs not only daily but also weekly, monthly, and yearly. People who upload photos must also vote, and each user receives credits from voting that they can apply toward uploading. With Pixoto, the community decides what photos are the best, and eventually the higher-quality images come to the forefront while those that are not as good do not. Users can add photos in a number of main categories, add their own title and provide keywords to describe the image in order for people to better understand it. While professionals can submit their photos, it is also a more casual and fun atmosphere for anyone to join and receive the feedback they need.
