Loupey - The Photographer’s Network

Posting around here has been a little sparse, but for good reason. I’m ecstatic to announce Loupey, the free and easy social network for photographers. Loupey is a place for seriously interested photographers to get together, share photos for serious critique, and stay in touch.

Too many photo sharing sites out there don’t emphasize serious critique. Loupey is about saying more than just “Nice photo!” It’s about helping someone get better at what they are trying to do by giving their work some serious thought. I want to encourage everyone to go and sign up for a free account. Be sure and tell your friends about it too! This is just the beginning, and we’re completely interested in hearing what you all have to say to make this the best resource for photographers on the internet.

On the “media” page, when I hover over an image from the bottom row, the larger version that displays is below the bottom edge of the page. It is possible to scroll down with the mouse wheel while keeping the cursor hovered over the thumbnail (in order to see the entire larger version), but kind of a pain in the neck.

Adam, thanks for joining up! I fixed the media page issue to display images previews above the fold when you hover over an image.

We’re going to continually be working on it, this is just version 1. Be sure to tell your friends to join up!

Am I to understand from you previous comment that you are the developer of the site? If so could you setup a script so that you are friends with people are the sign up.

I just signed up, and already I feel like I want to leave as I am just looking at my home page with no where to go, and no bodies pictures to look at; just nothing. Obviously this will change as more people join, but if you added this feature that might help.

correction: I meant to say “friends with people as they sign up”
