VSCO Rolls Out VSCO Spaces For Creators To Connect & Collaborate Through Shared Galleries & Visual Conversations
VSCO is rolling out VSCO Spaces. Through Spaces, creators can connect and collaborate through shared galleries and visual conversations. Creators can create and join Spaces around a particular theme, photography style, event, or location. In Spaces, they can engage in photo challenges, provide feedback on their photography, and discuss anything else they are interested in. Each Space is limited to 15 contributors as a way to encourage meaningful connections.
Spaces are equivalent to a digital co-working space, where creators can come together and share their work, support each other, and give feedback.
Spaces come at a time when more social media platforms are rolling out support for creators to collaborate with each such as Instagram's Collabs feature and TikTok's Duets. The difference between these features and Spaces is that Spaces focuses on building community rather than creating and sharing content together.
Spaces is part of a relaunch by VSCO and includes a new leadership team with Abode and Figma alum. It also includes product updates that cater to what it's calling "more serious creatives." Based on public statements, VSCO will likely start to explore how it can support creators beyond mobile devices.
