VIEWBUG And MetaFrames Partnership To Power Photography NFT Revolution

Creative studio MetaFrames will support VIEWBUG ’S 3.5 million members to monetise their work in the new creator economy, on The Table Read, “The Best entertainment magazine in the UK“.

Metaframes.io (MetaFrames) – a next generation media company serving the arts and creative industries through blockchain – has announced its partnership with global photography and photo sharing community VIEWBUG. MetaFrames will become VIEWBUG’S official NFT (non-fungible token), Web3 and virtual gallery partner. The collaboration will support photographers and creators who wish to branch out into the world of NFTs and share their passion for photography..

Virtual Galleries

The partnership will enable members of VIEWBUG’S photography community to create their own virtual galleries on the MetaFrames platform, and curate and tailor their own 3D and VR spaces. VIEWBUG’S users will be given access to MetaFrames’ creator tools, as well as IP protection, premium licences with leading consumer and entertainment brands, and have the opportunity to earn from their creations with sales and royalties. 

Sanjay Wadhwani, CEO and Founder of MetaFrames, comments: “At MetaFrames, we are huge advocates of the creator economy – one that is fuelled by creators earning direct revenue from their own work.

In order for this to become a major part of the global economy, collaboration across the creative industries is key – which is why this partnership with VIEWBUG unlocks so much potential for both businesses and creators alike.

We hope the collaboration between MetaFrames and VIEWBUG will enable creators, artists and photographers to take the leap into the world of NFTs and the metaverse.”

Ori Guttin, Co-Founder of VIEWBUG, adds: “Our passion and mission has always been to empower creatives worldwide, and the partnership with MetaFrames will ensure we take this to the next level for our users. We are two businesses that share the same values and vision towards the future, and we could not be more excited to help build the metaverse together.”

Global Creator Economy

The size of the global creator economy is estimated to be over $100 billion, with experts pointing to the recent boom being brought about by changes to working patterns and structure as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The NFT market continues to grow rapidly, with global sales of NFTs hitting $25 billion in 2021, and predictions suggesting a market valuation of more than $80 billion by 2025. 

The Web3 boom is also breaking into the realm of photography: the sale of Justin Aversano’s Twin Flame series in 2021 for a record breaking $1.11 million demonstrates a growing appetite, with many photographers (including fashion photographer Marco Glaviano) entering the space as a means of sharing their work and generating an income. 

“With 50 million active creators across the globe, just a small fraction are generating a full income from their endeavours. One of the driving forces behind MetaFrames is to place a greater share of the wealth created online back into the hands of the original creators – and to provide a safe space in which they can create, collect and connect with one another,” Wadhwani concludes.

MetaFrames is a decentralised and democratised platform for creators, artists, photographers and brands, due to launch in June 2022. The London-based startup is focused on building a platform that is community focused and will fully safeguard its users against unauthorised copying and ensure creatives enjoy royalties on secondary sales.
