Photaka is a marketplace for travel photography that connects travelers with photographers at tourist landmarks. Professional photographers upload images taken during a photo session directly to the app, and users can preview and purchase only the photos they like.
The main challenge was designing a two-sided marketplace that effectively serves both photographers and customers within one cohesive system. It required balancing complex photo upload and management workflows for photographers with a simple, frictionless viewing and purchasing experience for customers. Additionally, integrating secure payments while keeping the overall user journey seamless added another layer of technical complexity.
We conducted the product discovery phase and provided full branding, UI/UX design, and system logic. We’re now implementing mobile development using Flutter, with a backend on Node.js. Integrations with PayPal and camera connectivity APIs are part of the planned infrastructure.
