PhotoFeed is a project spear-headed by @jrue, @aweber, @yumyumseth and @cryptoctopus that aims to improve the experience of those who want to see beautiful professional photography on steemit.com
If you are a professional photographer, you are probably frustrated by the #photography tag at this point. The main reason we've found that the photography tag falls flat is that nearly every post, regardless of the topic, includes the photography tag. Essentially, browsing the photography tag is useless.
While we wait for the future developments that will make the experience on the steem blockchain more pleasant, the @photofeed project is moving forward to provide a solution immediately while building solutions for the future.
Our solution has 4 parts:
- Launching the #photofeed hashtag
- Having a powerful curation trail that is profitable for everyone
- Weekly round-up post to increase the exposure and share the rewards with great artists
- Getting ready for communities as well as a possible app down the line
How to Participate
- Join our curation trail at steemauto.com
- Post your high quality photography using the #photofeed hashtag
- Get rewarded for your good work!
Incentives
@PhotoFeed has the backing of @cryptoctopus and he is sponsoring this initiative with his vote. To maximize participation and curation rewards for others, he will upvote 30 minutes after we do. If you upvote before we do (and @cryptoctopus), not only will you help people find good photography but you will also make a profit doing so!
Plans for the Future
The community feature should come within the next few months, opening much needed improvements in the discoverability of content while allowing for better moderation. With the support of @cryptoctopus, we will bootstrap a PhotoFeed community that empowers amateur and professional photographers to share their art.
An app/website and/or a Smart Media Token specialized for high quality photography is not out of the question either but we will wait until we have a better understanding of the technology landscape before we move forward with these ideas.
Get involved!
- If you’re a photographer, use #photofeed as a tag. We’ll look at every photo posted there.
- Join our curation trail at steemauto.com to help reward amazing photography.
- Follow us at @PhotoFeed to see the best photo content on Steemit.
Major thanks to @aweber for the picture! Check out his page!

Great project! I'm not a photographer but I enjoy browsing nice photos. From now on, I will start browsing the photofeed tag.
https://steemit.com/@yaldrimbalfas follow me #indonesia #steemit #steem #blog #introduceyourself . u very good
That is a great idea. Photography tag is definitely overused too much and it's not very relevant to the content it's used on. Hopefully, photofeed tag will have great success and a lot of great photographers will get rewarded for their hard work! Cheers.
good man!!
Put it to use today , I’m really exited for this new project . Wishing you guys the best
THANK YOU.
Jesus Christ, I was so impressed with Steemit at first, but this exact thing has been killing it for me. I don't mean to be rude, but your froyo snap with your iPhone 4 isn't what I wanna browse when I'm in Photography
This is a step in the right direction! Will post there frequently
agreed @greatheights.
Haha too true!
Lol,but i thought we are here to here to help each other grow....
Exciting plans! Looking forward to seeing this in action.
Nice post
Awesome project, I'll definitely be using this to showcase my photography works from my travels around the world :)
Great Idea, i will follow it :D
Sky is the limit. thankx
It's so beautiful to have you here on steemit. I took time to come welcome you and I know you will love it here. Welcome to our family. @greatness96
Great idea! Good luck!
What front-end are you going to recommend to display images? Steemit (condenser) is currently very bad at it and only show thumbnail sized images.
It's so beautiful to have you here on steemit. I took time to come welcome you and I know you will love it here. Welcome to our family. @greatness96
Every attempt at sanitizing this community gets my support. Upvoted and followed. Thanks @photofeed for this post and thanks to @jrue, @aweber, @yumyumseth and @cryptoctopus for this initiative.
Thoroughly agree my friend, and have upvoted you accordingly
Awwww yeah! Backed by my favourite photographers on the platform, this is a great idea! I've now followed the curation trail since this is something I totally, totally, totally support! Tag spam drives me crazy on this platform, especially since I'm working to try and help new users on the platform... and IntroduceYourself just gets smashed with everything.
Well done dudes, very excited about this!
Hopefully this takes off and the future holds some #photofeed-portrait #photofeed-landscape #photofeed-sports down the line.
Great idea. Definitely something we'll consider down the road!
Wow! this is a great idea, atleast I can now know the tag to get to see best and professional photos from.
The only problem I'm thinking is the tag getting overflooded with the same people that totally destroyed the #photography tag.
I wish this project t best knowing that it's the brainchild of good hands and it'll surely be a success.
Happy Steeming
#bescouted and #portraitphotography don't have this problem. I'm optimistic.
Such a great idea! Are you open to hobby photogs....or can only professional photographers participate?
Anything goes if it's good enough!
How does one dictate if it's good enough, @photofeed? I take a lot of photos of our travels, and have some photography education, but don't consider myself "a photographer".
ok i get it as answer)
I am not a "professional" photographer, but I have a decent camera and i do like taking some nice snaps once in a while. Is it okay to use the #photofeed tag? I don't wanna misuse the tag so I wanna know if it's okay with curation team.
Cheers and good luck!!
Thanks a lot for this initiative!
We needed this for sorting out and filtering great photos!
Let's hope it doesn't get crowded with random snapshots :)
Great initiative, but my understanding is that if I join the curation trail that I'll automatically be upvoting any photos that photofeed upvotes... is that accurate? I'm not sure I'd be down with that.
I'm the same way, giving someone else access to "use" my votes, and post from my account weather I like the photo or not seems not ok. Correct me if im wrong @photofeed , but thats how it seems.
he follow and upvote I follow and upvote back
Wow your picture looks amazing!
This sounds like a great initiative... I am hoping to post more and better photographs in the future once I have my feet under the table here!! Will definitely get involved with the hashtag. Great work everyone :-)
I'm glad to see this post! I post photos almost everyday and hopefully, this exciting project will encourage more people to take quality photos for everyone to enjoy.
Let's see if you are actually able to distinguish professional from amateur photo. Take a quick quiz and chose the one that you think it's professional and not the work of amateur: https://steemit.com/photofeed/@mcertic/can-you-guess-which-photography-is-professional-and-amateur
Thanks @photofeed for creating this initiative 😀👍😎 Have an amazing day you guys!
Great idea! I'm new to Steemit, and I wasn't very impressed by the landscapephotography, or any of the photography tags for that matter, so I will definitely be looking for quality images using the photofeed tag. I just added a few myself.
Nice to meet you!
Awesome idea, every body is usying photography tag despite of relevance of his post with that tag, I wish photofeed tag hit the sky and become the best platform for photographers to get reward of their hard work.
what a great idea!! so glad to see this iniciative and I hope and I know this going to be really BIG!
thank you so much!
Very good 😊
Dope, looking forward to this and adding content to #photofeed of my travels around the world
Great plans and nice expectations indeed.
I hope we will see this in action very soon.
Keep it up
Nice initiative. Good opportunity for serious photographers.
Thanks @photofeed , this picture is really awesome....., and Photographiers really inspired that types of pictures 😊
When you mean "post a hashtag" do you mean within the post, or the 1 out of 5 tags? Pretty new onto the platform but hoping to port my followers from other platforms over here and trying to find out different ways to incentivize them that doesn't involve Botting.
Welcome! You should use it as one of your five tags.
Oh thanks. Roger!
such a cool idea
