1x is not your average photo site. All photos on 1x are selected by a team of professional gallery curators, just like in a real photo gallery. Our curators have experience from well known institutions such as Sothebys and Tate Modern Art. We believe that everyone has an inner photographer, just waiting to be discovered. Getting published on 1x is a great achievement; many photographers whose works now hang in art galleries were once discovered on 1x. It is no coincidence that art directors, book editors, and magazines all over the world use photos from 1x photographers.
