Information

  • STRKNG is a curated online gallery for photography.
  • A professional showroom for photographers, models, designers, and brands.
  • The basic version is and will remain free of charge.
Our goals:
  • Build an international collection of stunning contemporary photography.
  • Promotion and networking of participants.
  • Encourage intercultural understanding through photography
  • Containment and qualitative filtering of the flood of images on social networks and thus promoting the perception of beautiful work.

STRKNG aims to liberate photography from corporate interests.
We understand that larger platforms may offer greater reach. That’s why we also publish your work on external channels – while respecting their limitations (e.g., nudity restrictions on major platforms – please use our built-in censorship tool if needed).

  • STRKNG is a gallery, showroom, and index focused on showcasing your strongest work online.
  • Your images, events, products, and blog posts are automatically optimized (SEO, metadata, structured data, AMP).
  • Upload limit: 9 images (or 18 for VIPs) – focused portfolios save time and highlight what matters.
  • Smart visibility: Filter by topic or location; best content appears first.
  • Anonymous voting system with limited votes – no image comments, no spammy self-promotion.

Your work may appear in various places across STRKNG depending on the type:

  • Portfolio Images: Your profile and the "New on STRKNG" section.
  • Blog Posts: Your profile, the STRKNG Blog, and "New on STRKNG".
  • Events: Your profile, the Photography Calendar, the Friday newsletter, and "New on STRKNG".

Editors' Selection: Only if "PromoteMe" is activated – then your work may also appear on Instagram, Facebook, X, Tumblr, RSS, and in our eMag.

STRKNG Stream: A randomized stream from VIP, Flash, and Star-level members shown across channels for ongoing visibility.

Wedding Photography: Dedicated page and stream, featuring select images automatically – shared on social media.

Highlight of the Week: One highly liked image becomes the weekly highlight – shown on the homepage and in our newsletter.
