View allVeroProof Portfolio
Photographers need to prove their work is human-made and manage their content without commercial bias. This app solves both by providing a tamper-proof authenticity ledger and a curated, ad-free portfolio showcase.
“A photographer wants family to easily view his large, locally-stored photo collection on the TV without relying on his computer, and needs a simple way to tag and share photos from his server.”
“Lack of a centralized, curated archive of real-world full-resolution sample photos from various lenses and cameras to evaluate rendering, color, and character beyond technical test charts.”

Photographers waste hours manually importing, sorting, and culling photos. An app that automates ingestion, intelligently organizes by date/device, and culls duplicates resolves this pain.
