Immutable Image, founded in April 2021, is dedicated to bringing iconic photography direct from photographers into the NFT ecosystem in innovative and accessible ways. Our mission is to support both the photographic and NFT communities by building a new and diverse group of collectors for this culturally vital visual art form.
Immutable Image works directly with the image-makers (IP owners of the photographs) to help bring their work into Web3 and connect with this new audience. Therefore, any photograph you buy in “The Mint,” or any Immutable Image activation, is always authentic and offered directly from the artist.
While Immutable Image is a cross-chain company for the long term, we are leaning heavily into a “Solana-first” strategy. As a result, we have established our own Solana marketplace at www.immutableimage.com, a growing secondary channel on Magic Eden, and are enthusiastically creating activations like this Launchpad event which allows us to offer incredible imagery to a broader audience.
Logistically, “The Mint” is similar to the many other randomized mint events on LaunchPad, except we offer iconic photographs, not generative art. Simply, your purchase will deliver you a randomly selected unique NFT photograph. Please note, you are NOT purchasing the copyright or commercial rights to the image itself, but instead a unique and limited edition NFT, much like a physical limited edition print IRL. The rarity and variance of what you receive will be in the edition size of the image, the artist, and the imagery itself.
We curated “The Mint” with three legendary photographers who have a specific focus on fashion, sport, and music: Sante D'Orazio, Walter Iooss Jr, and Cati Gonzalez. They are offering 25 exceptional photographs, with a total supply of 500 editions. There will be five exclusive 1/1s available and unique editions ranging in size from 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, and 50. With a public price of 1.5 SOL, this is truly a democratic way to collect iconic photography, which we believe the growing SolanaNFT art collector community deserves.
Please visit the website we built for this event, where you can find more details about the artists and the complete set of images and edition sizes.
