#FairSharePhotography
We are 500+ passionate photographers.
We use our creative skills to do good things for good causes.
Sharing stories
There is an interesting story behind every photo. Through photography, we can all learn about the world we live in and make a positive impact. When our contributing members share their photographs, we regularly showcase their work in a form of a story, interview, via newsletter and social media.

Stock photography revolution
We have completely changed the commission-based model of how images are currently being sold and purchased. We developed our Excio PhotoTokens that photographers earn at the time they submit a photo. This helps us make images affordable to buy for those who need them while fairly rewarding photographers. With every PhotoToken sale we donate 1% to a charity.

Unlimited inspiration
We love challenges and competitions! There is always something happening at Excio to keep you motivated and inspired.
There is also a new issue of our Excio journal published every quarter which you can read online for free or order a high-quality print.
What our members are saying
“I was attracted by Excio’s ‘mission statement’ that identified the importance of the stories behind images and the need to go beyond superficial social media popularity to do real good. When I made contact with Excio my questions were quickly and comprehensively answered by not just a real person, but the CEO and Co-founder of Excio, Ana.”
“Stoked to be included together with such a great group of photographers and their images.”
“I feel as though it is my duty to use my skill and my profession to do some good around me. If I have the gift of giving memories, it makes me happy to use it for people who need it most.”
“I have enjoyed my association with Excio. Thank you for this opportunity to clarify my thinking about what photography means to me and the way that I approach the photographic process. Photography is definitely for the people as is my other interest- poetry.”
“Recently I became a member of this amazing community called Excio. And I was fortunate enough to have one of my images in their latest new best uploads.The app is free for those wishing to just view images. Check it out! There are some amazing images on it. Your support and interest in my work have been quite humbling. 😍”
“Thanks Ana Lyubich for somehow finding my work and approaching me to do the interview and become a member. Part of me feels like a fraud (like, there are so many great NZ photographers around, how can this be me here?), and the other part feels super proud of myself.”
“I just LOVE what is happening with your community!”
Giving photography more purpose
We champion responsible photography practices.
Putting Nature First
We partnered with Nature First Alliance - an international community of photographers engaged in nature conservation. We strongly believe in following responsible practices when taking photos and encourage our members to do the same.
Responsible photography
From printing on sustainably-sourced paper to supporting charities to educating our photographer-members about responsible photography practices. We put culture, nature and environment first when taking photos. Not social media popularity.
