Limited Edition Pricing Model for Photographers
Why?
The digital negative and printing technology is making exact copies of your photographic work. Limited editions are used as a solution for scarcity and pricing.
How?
Instead of having an arbitrary number of prints in an edition, base editions on geographical location. Each print can be limited to a state or country, and part of the signature of the artist on the print will include the location it “belongs to.” This means that some locations will sell for higher prices as there might be more collectors there, and the signature will guarantee and be proof of the value of that specific print even if it later moved to another location or resold. The provenance of where it was originally sold will keep its value.

Clear the Clutter in Your Picture
Why?
You see something a bit away from you, but there are objects in the foreground obscuring your view.
How?
A smartphone app that uses the camera to show you the parts you want to see without the obstructing elements in the foreground. It does so by asking you to move the camera in an as large area as you can, scanning the scene up and down, left and right. You then choose the distant object you want to see, and the app will work out – using the multiple exposures it continuously takes when you move the phone around – how to build a picture without the obstructions in the foreground.

Remember Your Visit App
Why?
Has this ever happened to you? You return from a vacation and don’t remember what you did on what day.
How?
An app that alerts you whenever you arrive at a place to take a photo and caption it, and when you leave alerts you to write a short note (text or audio) about the place you just visited. At the end of the trip, you have a textual and visual timeline that you can export as a video, an HTML page, etc.
