London photography network launches new app to "compete with Instagram"

A London photography network has announced that it is launching a new app to compete with Instagram.

100ASA, which has a community of more than 10,000 people across the globe, is creating a platform that is aimed solely at photographers.

The platform is designed to be a competitor of Instagram, only publishing posts approved through its curation process to assure that the platform is home to only “high-quality images”.

Massimiliano Peluso, founder & Enterprise Solution Architect of 100ASA, commented: “100ASA is going to compete with Instagram because this social media platform has lost its identity. Instagram started as a photo-sharing platform, and it’s now much more about advertising. You can upload anything on Instagram.

“On the other hand, 100ASA is 100 per cent for those with a strong passion for photography. And we only publish images approved by our curation process.

“Many of our members mentioned having joined 100ASA for being tired of platforms that prefer mass over quality. On 100ASA, only the best images are included in our galleries.

“100ASA comes as an alternative for photographers at any stage of their careers to promote their work. And the public is sure to be seeing only high-quality images.”
