Concept
We offer a direct line to high quality media for commercial use. Any professional level photographer can participate. SkyCaféMix manages all rights globally so that it is finally possible to do projects in global digital media without worries.
By using primarily online payment and distribution systems, we keep costs down. Our aim is not to provide a free resource for bloggers to sell ads on our content. We aim to create a new 21st Century market for digital media direct from the artist, unencumbered by traditional barriers that waste time and opportunity.
Until now, individual photographers, musicians and filmmakers have had to run their own experiments, and this has led to a devaluing of quality. Our hope is that SkyCaféMix will provide an easy to understand and use format and achieve a strong, ongoing global business for our colleagues and customers.

Journalists and Artists
If you want to be anonymous, ERASE YOUR METADATA! Puh-lease! Or we will do it for you.. however we think putting your name out into the world will get you more jobs. Please don’t send things that ask for trouble.
