LensMarvel

A web portal for all level photographers

Problem Statement

There are many websites to learn photography online, upload photo online and find meetups. But none where everything related to photography can be find at one place. Usually after learning basics of photography user needs to uploads his photos, find for meetups where he can get more exposure and he will be googling and go on different websites for his work. The idea is to provide one portal where all level photographers needs are met and interaction with each other is possible.

Outcome Vision

  • Provide free tutorials for photoenthusiast
  • Expert level photographer arrange workshops and host onsite.
  • Facility to upload share pictures and get feedback.

User Interviews

I send questionaire to all levels photographers from those who are newbie and willing to learn photography to those who conducts there workshops and also those who are weekend hobby photographer. From there answers following points were found:
