A place for photographers to show and sell their photography

ImageHawk is a place to sell your photography online.

The idea was born while surfing in Costa Rica. A surf photographer took some photos of me and he sold them to me. This application would have made that purchasing experience easier.

How It Works

The photographer takes photos of people surfing. He brings with him a sign that says: Find me on ImageHawk.app/username. He uploads the high resolution images to his ImageHawk account. The images are displayed as low resolution photos to the buyer. Once the surfer/buyer purchases the images, they are sent the high-resolution photos immediately.
