Start up review: ‘’Exposure’’

Tell Stories with photos

In December 2014, Luke Beard (creative Director) and Kyle Bragger (engineer) launched ‘’Exposure.co’’, a photography based storytelling platform that helps users turn their photo sets into stunning graphic stories.

How did all started

The idea started after a trip Luke Beard had in Estonia. It was the first time he traveled with a good camera, so when he came back he had a great amount of photos. The first question that came to his mind after editing his photos was ‘’Now what shall I do with them?’’. He wanted to tell his story by using his photos in a loud and clear format without any interference and difficulties in texting.

By then, he was already working with Kyle, who took the idea and turned it into reality.

Features

Exposure platform is very easy to use. You just drag and drop a single one or a set of photos from your desktop; put them in the order you like and write your text on them. You can choose from a small variety of fonts, between white and black background and you can align your text at the middle or at the left of your photos. It is as simple as it gets.

Publishing and preview are very easy too, plus, Exposure offers the option to use your own domain name when publishing your story. Last but not least, all of your photos are copyright protected.

Access

In order to have access to the platform you can either use the free trial version for three times or pay a subscription fee of 9 dollars per month. This fee allows you publish as many stories as you wish and to use your own link. Premium packages are also available at higher prices and offer many more options and features.

As Luke Beard said “[Exposure.co] is a very honest product” and we‘ll have to agree that its unique simple form that allows users to focus on the stories and the absence of advertisement make it a really sophisticated and quality product.
