No matter what area of journalism you work in, you’re probably dealing with a large number of photos. Sometimes it’s a current shot from the scene, other times it’s a stock photo. Buying a license for one image doesn’t sound complicated – but what if you have thousands? Over time, editors realize that some photos might come in handy again, raising the question: How do you maintain a photo database that stays organized and searchable even years later?
On paper, the plan is simple: neatly organize everything into folders. But reality is different. In an editorial environment, where articles are produced on everything from politics to gastronomy, you run into issues with the very first photo. Take Wenceslas Square, for example – where should that go? Under “Prague”? “Landmarks”? “City Center”? And even if you manage to set up folders, sooner or later you’ll encounter an image that doesn’t fit into any of them.
This is where Infiry comes in – a web-based app that helps editorial teams efficiently manage photos. How does it work? Each photo can be enriched with attributes like location, date taken, photographer’s name, collection, or even dominant colors. And if that’s not enough, Infiry uses artificial intelligence to automatically assign relevant keywords.
Infiry adds detailed descriptions to every photo, making them easy to find even years later. Say you’re looking for images of Wenceslas Square – just type in the location and date, and the app instantly displays matching results. And that’s just the beginning – you can always add more keywords manually if needed.
Managing photos with Infiry not only brings order to your archive but also peace of mind. Knowing that all your images are stored in one place – and that you can filter them by attributes – means you’ll never again waste time searching for “that one photo that must be somewhere.”
Infiry streamlines team collaboration by allowing multiple users to manage photos under a single account. Everyone can contribute and keep the archive well-organized, ensuring quick and easy access for the whole team.
Infiry has saved us countless hours we would have spent sorting and searching for the right images. Instead, we can focus on what really matters – producing high-quality journalism. The system helps us stay organized and protects our valuable time from being lost in photo chaos.
For journalists and editorial teams who deal with large volumes of photos daily, Infiry is a valuable assistant. It helps you stay in control and saves time that would otherwise be lost to inefficient sorting.
