NFTs: The Future of Digital Art and Photography Ownership
This week we present to you Marieke Feenstra, a fine art landscape and nature photographer. She wrote a piece on her personal blog about the benefits of NFT photography.
Here's quick a summary:
For an artist or photographer, using the blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to protect and sell digital work is important. In the past, it was difficult to protect digital work and earn fair wages.
NFTs allow for verification of authenticity and ownership and can be minted for each digital creation. They can also be used to sell work as one-of-a-kind or in a limited edition series.
Blockchain-adjacent solutions such as smart contracts enable co-creation and transparent revenue sharing.
The use of NFTs and Web3 technology can revolutionize the industry and provide greater opportunities and security for artists and photographers.
