This app is almost perfect. It just requires the ability to chat with your fellow photographers appropriately and safely. Why? Firstly this would absolutely increase the amount of users, And lastly it would be easier to understood how great photographers are so Gould at what they do. Please use this vital peace of information to make your app perfect!
A few years ago this app was amazing, now all I see is same featured photographers and no more EyeEm missions. Communication with anyone is impossible. Definitely not what it used to be.
App doesn’t allow photo upload from phone, shuts down before info can be saved.
It keeps closing every time I click “done” after typing the title of my image. Weird. And I’ve noticed the quality of the images drop after being uploaded. Annoying. And in terms of picking a location; it won’t let you type a location. Like how can “Australia” not be found?? That’s a pretty big location.
EyeEm has taught me how to be a better photographer over the years. Unfortunately, you will only get a few cents for each photograph you sell, and I’m sure EyeEm are getting a LOT more. Furthermore, now they will leave your photos on “under review” indefinitely it seems.
I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos to EyeEm over the years .. in the beginning they pitched themselves as a platform for photographers to share with each other and eventually sell their work too.. great.. or so it seemed.. one or two of my photos sold for a couple of dollars here and there.. the biggest sale being about 5 dollars.. then I walked into a major retail chain to see that photo being sold on a shirt. At first I was flattered, but the more I’ve thought about it in the intervening hours.. it’s t eta Lou taking advantage at that point, where a huge multinational fast fashion retailer can potentially make huge sums of money from my image that they paid so little for. This system is broken and it is the individual photographers who are worse off for it. It feels like theft.. I wouldn’t have cared if it was on a poster or in an ad.. but actually being turned into a physical product that in turn is sold for money at a huge scale seems wrong.. and downright dishonest. EyeEm do not make it clear what you’re getting into when you list images on their site.
Although sales are almost non existent and not very profitable I love this app as a place to display my work without having to worry about my own website. A few dollars here and there are better than nothing!
When I first started with EyeEm (Getty Images) they paid a fair amount for the use of your photos. Now, even valued Partner Collection images pay the photographer a paltry $0.01USD, believe me, someone is being ripped off and you can guarantee it’s not Getty Images 🤬 Photographers, do yourselves a favour and don’t even bother. Publishers, if you can live with yourselves for the blatant EXPLOITATION of any photographers still using Getty Images then may karma give you in the end exactly what you deserve.
I have been emailing their provided email address to try and get access on my account. So far haven’t heard from them. I tried logging in with the associated gmail and nothing works. I also tried resetting my password but the change password button never functions once I’ve done my input. Please help me.
I like how most of the keyword work is done based on photo analysis. Doesn’t always work as some shots are abstract but it’s algorithm is better than me.
