Product Description

Digital Railroad’s Photo Feeds allow buyers and consumers to subscribe to image feeds from the online archives of professional photographers worldwide. Photo Feeds delivered via RSS, Atom and Javascript can be customized by image category, keyword or source archive. Images link back to archives powered by the Digital Railroad application services platform, providing a powerful marketing connection between the global marketplace and photographer’s storefronts. Buyers can then receive custom permissions to access high-resolution images.

Market Opportunity

Digital Railroad develops Web applications that address the $2B+ stock photography market. More than 500,000 photographers worldwide have difficulty reaching buyers due to market consolidation and technology barriers. Digital Railroad addresses the overwhelming need for democratization by empowering photographers with tools to easily manage, market and sell their photographs online. Current members come from Afghanistan, Indonesia, Russia, Japan, United States, Italy and more.

Demo Says

"For the last year, Digital Railroad has been building the next-generation photo library, bridging well the needs of both professional photographers and photo editors. Now, the company is making clever use of RSS to provide syndication services to its core communities. The offering brings new market exposure to photgraphers, and enables a wider range of sites and blogs to incorporate professional photography in their applications."
