Kōlab: Photography Community

Feedback Rooms are now available to all, with its very own tab! Missions get deadlines, and the app shares useful insights back about some of your own shots.

Kōlab is a photography app built on one idea: your best shots come from practice and feedback, alongside other photographers who care as much as you do.

Find a Mission, add your shot and see what other photographers made of the same brief. Then add a new version when want you take it further!

• HOW IT WORKS

Missions A new brief every week, built around a technique, challenge or event. Follow the ones you like the look of, add a shot when you've got it ready.

Comments from people who shoot Kōlab looks at every shot and suggests specific things another photographer could say about it, rather than "nice shot"!

Feedback Rooms When you want some proper feedback on a shot, open a Feedback Room. These are private conversations that only those in the room can see. Help other photographers out by joining other photographers feedback rooms too!

Edit Reveal Put the unedited image next to the finished shot. Drag the slider and show every creative decision that got made on the way.

Versions Re-edit, re-crop or reshoot a photo you have already posted, add it as a version, and say what changed. Both stay on the same post and anyone can swipe between them.

Something back about your own work Open the app and you might discover something new about your photography: your fastest shutter speed yet, a personal best, or a shot that stands apart from everything else you've shot before.

A feed built around you Kōlab's For You feed leans towards the genres and the photographers you care about, and it makes room for great shots nobody has commented on yet.

Shots at full quality Upload high-resolution, uncropped, unlimited images. Your work shows up the way you meant it to.

Whether you are a dawn-chasing wildlife photographer, a weekend plane spotter or an all-weather landscape photographer, this is built for you. Aviation, landscape and wildlife are the busiest genres today. Every other genre is open and filling up, and getting in early means you help shape the community.
