We are currently looking for contributors for our Ronia Raw Photo Collection Project.

What is the project about?

We invite photographers, photo hobbyists, visual creators, and anyone passionate about photography to participate in our RAW Photo Collection project.

Do you regularly capture high-quality photos in RAW format to expand your photo library? If the answer is yes, this project allows you to earn extra income by contributing your photos to the development of advanced AI and computer vision technologies. Your images can have a real-world impact beyond your personal library.

Task description:

Participants may submit both existing photos from their personal archives and newly captured images in RAW format. We’re looking for a wide variety of subjects, styles, lighting conditions, and environments—including nature, events, everyday scenes, objects, and more.

Photos may be captured in RAW and other supported formats using eligible iPhones or digital cameras. Uploading is quick and easy via our mobile app or browser-based data collection tool.

We will be collecting the following types of photos:

RAW Images: individual, unedited photos captured directly from the device.
Image Pairs: pairs of identical unedited photos, with specific objects present in one and absent in the other photo.

Accepted Formats: The photos should be native RAW and DNG where applicable (including CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, RW2, ORF, and PEF). These files retain the raw data captured by the device at the moment the photo was taken.

All submitted photos must be original and taken by you. Photos downloaded from the internet or generated using AI will not be accepted.

Who is eligible?

To participate, you should meet the following qualifying criteria:

- Be 18 or older.

- Be a resident of the United States.

- Be able to upload photos in RAW formats or pairs of photos following our instructions.

- All photos should be taken with one of the following devices:
