Challenge To All Photographers by Offpoint: 8:06pm On Jan 27, 2020 |
Being a graphic designer for many years, there's something I've observed and had always wanted to talked about it. I've noticed, once you're sorting for photos online and once you searched for anything picture most of the results are of whites. I mean 99.9% will always be that of whites, unless you include keywords such as: "Black, Africa or Nigeria" and the results of these keywords will mostly come up with pictures you can't really used. My challenge to our photographers, why can't you guys up your games? Why can we have site such as pexels, unsplash, Pinterest and co? If I can have a photographer will quality Cam we can make this possible, we can have a nice website where all blacks photos can be found... It hurts when I searched for "climbing ladder" and all the results that popped up are that of whites. let's take up this challenge and make it work. we can talk about the monetary expect later. |

I swear! I have to type keywords like 'black ebony African man' before I can even manage to see a black man's picture to use. I can't see why we don't have a platform where we can sell purely African model pictures. I don't even mind modeling for free. Dem dey always tell me say I get modeling face |

Jh0wsef:Had this thought for a long time, it hurts when sorting for pictures most are whites. There are designs, clients specifically told you not to use a white picture. I need photographers on this forum to come we deliberate on this. |

Offpoint:I think it's because most Nigerian photographers don't do stock photography. Most photographers do beauty shoots.. Sites like the ones you mentioned are for stock photographers.. |
