Marie Dashkova, a photographer from Russia was looking for a place where she could show her artwork and build a diverse portfolio while earning money for here images, which is what brought her to submit her images to Scopio. In the past, she had tried submitting to traditional stock photo agencies, but there were so many restrictions that she wasnt able to express her authentic self and style. Find out how she has been able to earn money as a successful and expressive photographer without giving into the restrictions. 

She also speaks about her experience as a Scopio photographer and using the new contributor portal that allows photographers to see their images, views, downloads, and even access amazing perks. 

Learn more about her experience with Scopio, and how you can get your images featured and get paid as a photographer too.

Christina Hawatmeh shares with MBOS her unique story of starting Scopio and why she was led to start a company that focused so intensely on spreading diversity. It started with seeing protest images and realizing that these important images were not being shown to the world. Think about the power behind a protest, the message that the community is trying to share and all the while people are taking images and showing them on their social media - but in truth, we need a bigger platform where everyone can access these images. From there she really took on the mission of finding not only protest images, but all types of diverse images from UGC and built a platform where the artists could share their important images, and thus spread their message and amplify their voice.

We recently did a zoom meet up with some of our photographers based in India, they shared their styles, struggles during 2020, inspirations, and new innovative ideas. 

"Hello from a Stranger" The creative project was the brainchild of photographer Adam Schluter, who came up with the idea to fly from his hometown in Missouri to Copenhagen, Denmark, and ride trains all across the EU while meeting and speaking to almost every person he came in contact with.

We reached out to our photographers to ask them how their experience has been using the Contributor Portal which we recently launched at Scopio. We found a way to allow photographers to grow as artists, and earn income from their art and now we have given them a way to follow their statistics, see their image views, downloads, how many people saved their images, and most importantly collect their earnings.
