I sincerely appreciate any form of your support. However, recently I’ve encountered a serious issue with widespread content leaks from the closed tiers. Despite the profile description clearly stating that all materials are for viewing only and copying or further use is strictly prohibited, some of you continue to disregard this. Certain individuals are copying and reposting my content to public sources and even profiting from my work by using it in paid Telegram channels.
After reviewing the experience of my European colleagues, I will be implementing the following changes shortly:
1 – All unique content will be moved to the external platform gallera.io and protected by an additional password, which you will automatically receive upon subscribing to the respective tier or by contacting me via direct message if you're already a current subscriber. The goal of this solution is to minimize content leaks.
On the downside, there's the extra step of entering a password (though in practice it’s quite simple).
On the upside – every post will now look like a magazine publication, display equally well on all devices, and offer much faster navigation between photos compared to the Patreon website. You can see an example by following this link: https://gallera.io/g/19570-artem-stisoviak/325039-proba (access password: art123).
2 – The Official Patron tier price will be reduced from $6 to $3. This tier will include photo selections from different series featuring the same model, individual photos from other tier series, and demo versions of new photo shoot collections published in higher tiers. This will allow more people to support my work affordably, get partial access to premium-tier content, and be part of my community.
3 – Most likely, the Premium Patron tier will be discontinued, as I am facing a significant shortage of content for that tier, and I’m reluctant to split photo series into parts.
4 – On the VIP Patron tier, content will now only be available for 3 months from the publication date. After that, posts will be archived in the Exclusive Patron tier. This measure is also intended to prevent scammers from paying a one-time $20 fee to gain access to years of content.
Additionally, I want to introduce a new EXIF section here, where I will share full details about the film, development (recipe and processing time), equipment, scanning methods, etc. I believe this could be valuable for other film photographers striving for better quality (I have over 10 years of experience in film development).
5 – In the Exclusive Patron tier, there will occasionally be bonus posts available only for one month from the date of publication and never available again elsewhere. This is simply a bonus feature for loyal patrons on this tier and does not affect the pricing structure.
I sincerely apologize in advance to my honest patrons for any inconvenience these changes may cause, but the issue at hand requires decisive action.
Thank you for your support! Thanks to you, I’m able to continue shooting on film – which, as you know, is quite expensive nowadays.
