Community terms

Make room for
another perspective.

SOOC is a place to publish photography and discuss it with care. By using the community, you agree to these rules.

Share work you have the right to share

You retain ownership of your photographs. Upload only work you own or have permission to publish, and respect the privacy and rights of people pictured. Keep required credits intact. By uploading, you allow SOOC to store, process and display your work according to the visibility you choose, so the service can operate.

Be considerate

Do not post unlawful content, threats, harassment, impersonation, spam or material that infringes someone else’s rights. Give constructive feedback and use the report control on a photograph or series to flag a problem. Content or accounts that violate these rules may be restricted or removed.

Protect your account

Use your own email address, keep your password private and maintain access to your email for verification and recovery. Accounts are required to publish and participate.

Choose your audience

Public work is visible to everyone. An unlisted link can be passed on. Keep work as a draft if you do not want to publish it. Downloading or viewing a photograph does not transfer its copyright or grant permission to reuse it.

Keep your originals
