Exposure is an image sharing website targeted at people who enjoy creative and inspiring photography as well as people who have a passion for editing such photos. What sets as apart from other image sharing websites like Instagram and flicker is the fact that we allow and encourage users to edit photos that other users have posted. This creates a creative environment that matches passionate editors with passionate photographers. We achieve this environment with our innovative tools and features that allow users to see and switch between different edited versions of the same image and see information about who edited and posted it. Exposure also features a robust web-based editor and ability to download images and reupload it after using your favorite image editor.
Exposure began development in the summer of 2020 it was started by a pair of computer science students during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown to improve their web development skills and to pass the time in a productive manner.
