I am trying it out: Selling my Sony Alpha photos as NFT

Share

Every news today will be crazy because it’s the first of April. So I am telling you what I am doing today. There is a lot of buzz around NFT. You can read two articles on Petapixel about that here and here.

The very basic idea behind this is that your photo gets a unique token. This token can be trades, sold and purchased. Some think this is the holy grail for photographers as you could sell and make money of unique digital prints. Honesty, I really don’t know if this is the future but I guess that there is a fair chance that it might be a big thing in the years to come.

So I am trying out various platform just to see what’s the potential behind this. An example is my photo on Foundation.app (Click here). I took it with the Sony A7rIII at 5:30am in the morning on the coastline of Tuscany.  Foundation is a more “exclusive” platform where only officially invited creators can join. I for example was invited by a world class designer. And now I am allowed to invite 2 people to join the platform.

A completely open and non-exclusive platform would be opensea. But there your images get lost in the infinite collections of photos and art pieces.

There are also platform that allow you to earn a small percentage of commission on every future trade on your photos. This would allow you a steady income. It’s really a super wild field. I wonder if there will be a future platform that gets it right for all of us photographers…
