16th November 2007 DPhotographer.co.uk gains 6,000 images in its first four months Innovative new user-generated digital photography website exceeds all expectations and proves a hit with Digital Photographer readers
Imagine Publishing’s today announced that its
interactive online gallery for digital photographers has
already attracted over 6,000 image uploads and over a
thousand active photographers keen to showcase their
best work and share photographic knowledge and tips.
Launched in July 2007, www.dphotographer.co.uk is an interactive online community for amateur and
semi-pro photographers, and the companion website
for Digital Photographer magazine. The website allows
registered users to upload into their own online galleries
(complete with a unique URL which takes them
directly to their images), and also rate and comment on any photo in the database. The
latest photos can be viewed easily from the home page, and sorted by category, most
commented, top rated, most viewed and also by featured photographer.
Every photographer registed with DPhotographer.co.uk gets a personal profile page to
view their online photograph gallery, comments and ratings left by other users, and also
a summary of related statistics, including number of views, total number of comments
received and posted, and an average rating for their gallery. Coloured medals are awarded
for the best scores and gallery activity.
The Digital Photographer magazine team regularly update the website with the latest news,
as well as bestowing a “Photo of the Week” award on the best new image uploaded.
Visitors to the site can also enter the Digital Photographer of the Year Awards, and
download tutorial files from previous issues of the magazine.
Debbi Allen, Editor of Digital Photographer said of the site’s success: “We’re thrilled to be
inspiring our readers, not only inside our magazine but via the
website too. The success we have experienced within the first
four months proves that the user-friendly format we have created
caters for our readers’ need for a portfolio-led online community.”
