500px is a photographic community that powered by creative people in the world. It lets you to share and discover photographs.
There mission
Being an artist has never been easy, especially in today's fast-paced digital age. Photographers can't just be artists anymore; they have to be managers, accountants, marketers, assistants, web developers, and their own mean, lean,
shutter-clicking machines. Too many things to handle? We sure think so! We started the company to help photographers get greater exposure, reduce some of the marketing headaches, and let creatives concentrate on what they do best. We love seeing amazing work and equally love promoting it! A sense of inspired community is also important to us. We believe that the way forward is through presenting, discussing, supporting, and socializing with like-minded people.
Should you join?
If you're a photographer, 500px is your connection to a whole world of people passionate about images. It's the place for you to upload your work and create a beautiful portfolio, interact with a talented and dedicated community, manage your own blog, vote on photos, and have your work reviewed in return. We promote all the best work through a variety of social media, giving you the exposure you need to move forward. Even if you're not a photographer yourself, you can follow the photos of your favourite photographers, create lists of images that amaze you, express your opinion in comments and by votes, and perhaps find a photographer for hire. There are many possibilities and we think that you’ll enjoy exploring them. See for yourself.
How it all began
The first version of 500px came to light in early 2003. In those days, everything was slightly different. The Internet was slower, 3.2 megapixel cameras were the latest buzz, digital photographers were just getting acquainted with their tools, and 500 pixels was a good size for photos displayed on CRT monitors. Over the years, our website has gone through a number of revisions. We grew together with technology and photographers, bringing us most recently to Version 2.0 in 2009.
