Before you tell me what a photography purist truly is, let me share my perspective. To me, it’s someone who enjoys taking quality photos and finds inspiration by studying and analyzing the work of others. A decade ago, numerous sites and apps catered to this passion, with dedicated communities for each. Platforms like Flickr, 500px, Facebook, Instagram, and Photoblog were havens for photography enthusiasts. However, many of these sites were either acquired by larger competitors or succumbed to algorithms prioritizing influencer video content over genuine photography. VSCO strives to maintain that original spirit. If you’re frustrated with your photos’ limited reach on other platforms, their web version is definitely worth exploring.
