Photos verified as real
- 📷Not uploaded - Came straight from a camera, not uploaded, not AI.
- 📍Timestamped/Location Verified – Proof of when and where the image was taken.
- 🔒Not edited - original photo, same as at capture
- 💾Data intact - Metadata verified as original, not modified

Why create Real.Photos?
Fake news and fake information is everywhere on social media today. We no longer can trust that photos are real. AI photos and misleading edits are easy for anyone to create and metadata is too easy to change.
Verified photography is the source of truth that the internet is missing today. Documentary photography has always been important, but has never been as important as it is today.
We want to document the entire world. Landscapes, cities, cultures, events, news, and more.
