Writing result-oriented ad copy is difficult, as it must appeal to, entice, and convince consumers to take action.
Captivating Photography
We are 500+ passionate photographers.
We use our creative skills to do good things for good causes.
Sharing stories
There is an interesting story behind every photo. Through photography, we can all learn about the world we live in and make a positive impact. When our contributing members share their photographs, we regularly showcase their work in a form of a story, interview, via newsletter and social media.
Stock photography revolution
We have completely changed the commission-based model of how images are currently being sold and purchased. We developed our Excio PhotoTokens® that photographers earn at the time they submit a photo. This helps us make images affordable to buy for those who need them while fairly rewarding photographers. With every PhotoToken sale we donate 1% to a charity.
Unlimited inspiration
We love challenges and competitions! There is always something happening at Excio to keep you motivated and inspired.
There is also a new issue of our Excio journal published every two months which you can read online for free as a member or order a high-quality print.
What our members are saying
“The Excio Image Library looks stunning and is easy to use, this being the main reason I jumped on board.”
“I loved that Excio was audaciously trying to fix the broken stock photography model, and I wanted to be part of that change. Will it work? We won’t know until we try, and it’s not like I have a shortage of photos to upload!”
“I like what Excio has set out to achieve. It’s not just an image library that will pay photographers fairly, but a community of photographers who can encourage each other through the various platforms such as the Facebook group, the blogs and the Excio journal.”
“In my mind, the term ‘professional photographer’ should not only mean that you earn an income from photography, but you should have a very sound knowledge of your craft, you should be able to pick up your camera and know how it works without even thinking about it, you should behave in a professional manner, have plenty of experience behind you, and produce quality work.”
Giving photography more purpose
We champion responsible photography practices.
Putting Nature First
We partnered with Nature First Alliance - an international community of photographers engaged in nature conservation. We strongly believe in following responsible practices when taking photos and encourage our members to do the same.
Responsible photography
From printing on sustainably-sourced paper to supporting charities to educating our photographer-members about responsible photography practices. We put culture, nature and environment first when taking photos. Not social media popularity.
Tiaki Promise
The Tiaki Promise is a commitment to care for our home. For now, and for future generations. Care for land, sea and nature, and leaving no trace. Respect the culture and local communities, travelling with an open heart and mind.
