Really Really Really Really Really…Cool!
Really cool.
I’ve been slapping google to show me something like this.
Why not make paystack your cash collector. These is more than a referral link thing, the market has been scaled and it’s viable. Oya start collecting N100 per image
anyway…
I’ve already used 2. 
Thanks man.
Kudos @TheFuad. This is solves a real need for many of us. I’ve always toyed with the idea of doing something similar as a public service. Particularly after i spend hours and hours searching for suitable African themed photos to no avail. So again i say well done.
I’m a hobbyist photographer so i’ll submit a few from my personal flickr collection to the site, hopefully they are suitable. Regarding monetization, not every photographer does it for the money, some of us do it for the love and are happy to allow our photos to be used for free, +/- attribution.
Please keep it free for now and perhaps forever. It can become the wikipedia for hi-res African photos. We need more free and positive African photos on the internet. I’d happily contribute my time ad resources to make it happen.
Unfortunately, we don’t have so many people like you. Hobbyist or not, cash is good. There is joy in seeing your ‘fun work’ being used, but getting cash for it will be the cherry on the cake.
The point of stock photos is that they are free. I rarely see sites monetised from the get go getting anywhere. First let people know what is out there, then become indispensable, THEN charge,
@ TheFuad, Well done!!
I tried to upload pictures (as I take loads) but the process of emailing 2- 6MB photos isn’t ideal. Instead, contributors should upload direcltly to the site or it will be too onerous.
I think you should add ehttp://radar.techcabal.com/users/TheFuadasy catergories and allow contributors add any number of tags e.g. by location, theme, name etc.
I think thumbmails will help site load faster and ease the visual over load.
I think there should eventlually be a paid area. If you noitced, you have very few pictures of people right now, wich is one of the main ‘pain points’ with current stock photos (too few good black/ african faces!). So if you create an opportinity for photpgraphers to gather a variety of models, snap them in a variety of locations and poses that adviertizsers could use, it will be a win win for everyone - lower costs for advertizsers and a ‘store front’ for proffesional photogrpahers and artists. You could have something signifact on your hands Bruv!
But good start! We need more like these here !

I’m with you in this @‘we need more positive African images on line’ try any google search on Nigeria images and check out all the blood and gore that comes up. It’s horrible.
Best,
Kobani
Good point Deyo
lovely…My brother you just solved a 4 huge problem for me in getting local hires image for free. Oboy Kudos.
Hi @TheFuad are you still on the Snapaya project? It is very laudable. I tried to sign on to contribute some images but I couldn’t
My tot actually…what happens to me goggling let say ‘Okada’ and clicking on images. I believe tons of images will appear, maybe I am missing how they plan to monetise on the longterm?. My guess should be B2B would be better business strategy/model than focusing on B2C, a beautiful website or how cool it is doesn’t impress these days. Value is key, and secondly who are they offering the value to?.
It can be free as long as the photographer gets credit but monetising would make it more attractive for photographers
