Our verdict on Photocentra

6.5/10

Photocentra is best suited to photographers who want a portfolio alongside critique, discovery and community features. Its strongest point is that it brings image sharing, feedback, curated galleries and competitions together in one photography-focused service. The main caveat is that important commercial details are not clear on the homepage: pricing, marketplace commissions and image-licensing terms need checking before you rely on it to sell work. The site also gives little detail about image storage and account security.
