critical axiom

what we do

critical axiom was founded by christopher gooley to license, support and maintain photocore. photocore is an image archive and distribution system targeted at professional photographers and photo organizations. photocore and has been in development since mid-2005 and went production last year. now critical axiom is expanding the product line to include three levels of licensing - solo, hosted, and the photocore appliance.

photocore hosted helps any organization get their photos online in a streamlined and customized fashion. hosted clients can choose to make images available to the public or only allow authorized access, but either way, having your archive online means you can access and manage your photos from anywhere in the world.

photocore solo is designed for individual photographers who desire to place their current and archive images online for distribution and sales.

the photocore appliance allows anyone to bring their archive solution in-house. store your images locally on your internal network for speed and safekeeping while still utilizing the full funtionality of photocore hosted which allows web-based management, unlimited users + editors, usage auditing, and more.
