NFTs for Digitized Photos

An NFT (non-fungible token) is a unit of data stored on the blockchain that certifies a digital asset as being unique and therefore not interchangeable. Non-fungible tokens are gaining popularity as a form of digital collectible including NFTs for Digitized Photos.

Transforming a regular digital asset into an NFT is called minting, which tokenizes that asset on the blockchain. All NFTs are sold using cryptocurrency, so both the buyer and seller need a cryptocurrency wallet to complete the transaction.

Verified using the blockchain, NFTs have a transparent history of ownership, purchases, and trades that cannot be edited and are visible to anyone. Having an NFT on the blockchain ensures that it can always be traced from the current owner all the way back to the original creator.

A wide variety of digital files can be minted as NFTs, including:

• photos, illustrations, and animated GIFs
• collectibles
• trading cards
• video footage
• music and other audio files
• virtual items in video games, including skins, virtual currency, weapons, and avatars

Collected In the Same Way as Editions of Photographic Prints

NFTs can be collected in the same way editions of photographic prints are in the traditional market. The result is a potential new avenue for photographers of all levels to market and sell their work. The only difference from the traditional art market is that everything from transactions to ownership is conducted in a digital manner via the blockchain.

The purchaser of an NFT has ownership of this digital asset and not the copyright, which remains with the photographer.

NFTs for Digitized Photos

People have started to understand that a unique digital object can have a significant monetary value, just like a work of art, because of its uniqueness. NFTs for Digitized Photos offer a wide range of new possibilities in contemporary art for artists, buyers, and collectors alike.

The buyer of an NFT corresponding to a digital work of art has in his possession only the certificate, issued by the creator of this work, certifying that he is the buyer. The work in question can perfectly remain freely accessible online, even recorded and shared by millions of Internet users.

Why NFTs and Photographs work well together

• Nowadays most photographs are digital or are scanned and become digital.
• Photography is most of the time in 2D, so it is easy to reproduce on screens.
• The quality of screens and tools that showcase photographs online is getting better and gives you an accurate representation of the work, which was not the case before. It was preferable to see a print to really appreciate the quality of a photograph.
• The tokenization of art on the blockchain is the same as the term editions in photography. It can be open or limited. So NFTs allow photographers to decide what edition they want for their work and the buyer to know exactly what is out there.
• Social Media platforms showcase a huge number of digital photographs. So, people are familiar with seeing photographs on screens.
