Grainery is an Android application that allows users to share and discover high quality pictures. Designed for film photographers, the platform provides a space similar to social media like Instagram.
Community
This is a social hub for professional photographers, allowing them to share their analog photos, interact with others and explore film-based content. The app is developed to foster engagement among enthusiasts. Users can upload images with detailed metadata, including film stock, camera model and lens type. Beginners may learn more about different techniques and gear combinations.
There is a discovery feed where you can browse photos based on film type, camera or tags. It is possible to find inspiration and learn from others in the analog photography community. There is a built-in messenger suitable both for group talks and private chats.
Profile and portfolio
Just like in any social network, here you can create personalized profiles showcasing your work, preferences and photography journey. You can use your account as a portfolio for sharing and archiving your best shots as well.
Still, it is worth noting Grainery prioritizes chronological and interest-based content rather than algorithm-driven engagement. In other words, you get more organic experience without forced trends or advertisements.
