EyeEm
Photography Community
EyeEm is a global photography community and marketplace. We connect our engaged creators with leading brands to provide original, unique and on-brand content. Our mission is to empower our community by offering them a platform to get discovered, while giving brands access to the most powerful creative imagery worldwide.
In 2010, our four co-founders came together to host one of the first mobile photography exhibitions out of a Berlin subway station. Rooted in a real love of photography and desire to empower creators, what started as an underground art movement has now grown into the world’s most engaged online photography community and marketplace.
“From the very beginning our goal was simple: discover talent, empower them, and give them a stage.”
