The success of vintage photography as an NFT asset is mainly due to the provable authenticity provided by blockchain technology. By verifying the ownership and legitimacy of a given photo, NFTs provide a level of security that was previously unavailable. This also allows photographers to create scarcity for their work, choosing edition sizes and creating a level of provenance. In addition, NFTs make it easy to trade, buy, and sell vintage photographs, creating a more fluid market for photography.
Focus Bloc Past Experience in the NFT Space
This is not the first time that Focus Bloc has ventured into the world of NFTs. Prior to the upcoming, the team already launched a successful NFT collection in collaboration with the French-language weekly news magazine, Paris Match. The collection, titled, “Focus Bloc – The Iconic Model of the Past,” showcased 120 vintage photos from famous French photographer, Jean-Claude Deutsch, featuring 23 celebrities, including David Bowie, Brigitte Bardot, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Michael Jackson.
These photos were taken between the 1960s and 1990s, capturing these celebrities at the peak of their fame. The collection was launched in January and has had a lifetime volume of 31 ETH, with the current OpenSea floor sitting at 0.7 ETH and a recent sale of 0.8 ETH in early April. It’s worth noting that only 15 NFTs out of the 120-piece collection are currently listed for sale.
