Real.Photos mobile app is the easiest way for photographers to take photos, mint them as nfts, and list them for sale. We've built an app exclusively for photographers. You take photos that are verified as real, not AI, at the point of capture. Each photo is certified with a 'proof of reality' stamp in the metadata along with the location and timestamp. Once minted, you can list photos for sale in the Real.Photos marketplace. Humanity is less than 2 years away from not being able to tell which photos are real and which aren't. And soon there will be be more AI generated content than human generated. Real.Photos is a way to push back against the blurring of reality that's coming. We hope you like it.
