## What is Surfoto?

Surfers, do you have trouble linking up with the photographer who was at the beach while you were crushing barrels? 

Photographers, do you want your surfing photos to get the most exposure they can?

Surfoto's goal is to bring these two parties together, where surfers can view the best versions of themselves by simply using the app. Photographers are able to upload the photos they've taken, listing them at a price they set. Using location and time filtering, surfers are able to browse and search for photographs in their area, during the time they were actively surfing. Users are not locked in to being a surfer or photographer - they can do both!

This combination sets both parties up for success - with a seamless checkout system, surfers can have their favorite surfing photos downloaded in seconds. While photographers can make money quickly and easily selling their photos. Every photo is watermarked until a successful purchased occurs. Once a transaction is complete, the buyer gets their newly purchased photo in their profile, where they can download it directly to their device! 

And the best part - a percentage of all revenue go to ocean based charity, saving our oceans.

Features include:
Home feed - all photos loaded with no location or time filtering.
Nearby feed - with location permissions, photos can be loaded in a close proximity to your location.
Browsing ability - where users can browse photos by location, and (optionally) time.
Upload photos - uploading a photo with a location, price, and an optional description.
Profile screen - with all of your taken and purchased photos.
Download screen - download your purchased photos
Orders - keep track of your transaction history
Withdrawals - withdraw your cash when you successfully sell photos!
And more features!

We hope you enjoy Surfoto!
