Starting today, 500px, one of the world's premier photo-sharing platforms, opens a new window on photography with the release of the 500px app for Windows 8.
The app lets Windows 8 users view, enjoy and share inspiring photos right from their Surface tablets or other Windows 8 devices. And it provides 500px photographers access to an even larger global audience for their images. This is an important part of the 500px vision: ensuring the outstanding work its photographer community produces reaches people around the world on whatever device they happen to use.
"We've taken the signature 500px photo-sharing experience that was so popular on other tablets and built that same functionality into the Windows Store app design," says 500px chief product officer and co-founder Evgeny Tchebotarev. "Microsoft has made design a priority across its businesses. That's why we're working with them to showcase our photographers on the Bing homepage. Now people can enjoy our photos directly on the new 500px app for Windows 8."
"500px features an immersive, full-screen experience ideal for viewing beautiful photos from some of the most talented photographers in the world," said John Richards, senior director of Windows App Marketing for Microsoft Corp. "This new Windows Store app will give our users access to the rich 500px platform on any Windows 8 device."
