Web3.photos is about protecting real photographs and the people who make them, in a world where any image can be generated.

What we believe

The internet works best when people own what they make, choose where their money goes, and understand the tools they use. That was the original promise of Web3, before hype and self-dealing crowded it out. We are here for the version worth keeping: take the good, leave the bad.

What we stand for

  • Clarity over hype. Plain language, real sources, no invented numbers.
  • Choice over lock-in. Tools and options that leave you free to leave.
  • Fair access. An internet where opportunity does not depend on who you already know.
  • Independence. Brego Arts & New Media is self-funded and minority-owned. We answer to readers.

Photography, Proof and Ownership

Web3.photos is about protecting real photographs and the people who make them, in a world where any image can be generated.

AI can generate realistic images in seconds. A real photograph increasingly needs evidence of where and how it was made.

Synthetic image

C2PA is an open standard that attaches a signed record to an image showing who made it and how it was edited. Some cameras and editing apps can add it.

C2PA

Cameras store details such as date and settings inside the file. Metadata is easy to strip or change, which is why signed credentials matter.

EXIF

A license says how others may use your photo. Clear terms make it easier to get paid and to act when a photo is used without permission.

License

An NFT records a token tied to a work on a blockchain. It can prove a sale or edition, but it does not transfer copyright unless a contract says so.

NFT

AI editing can remove objects or extend a frame. Disclose heavy edits, especially in news or documentary work.
