8:21Every morning the curators review the new visual essays submitted by photographers and filmmakers around the world.
By hand, we argue them into an order of thirty and place one essay at number one. The list resets at 00:00 your local time.
Start with six free previews. Members unlock all thirty plus the full archive of 1,860 essays — one finished piece a day, at your pace.
We don't want your evening. We want your full attention for one visual essay, then we want you to put the phone down and go look at the actual sky.
“I started videozone because the photography I loved was disappearing under the scroll. A single frame that took a year to earn would last three seconds on a feed, then vanish. So we slowed everything down. Every morning my small team and I watch the new visual essays that come in, argue about them, and rank just thirty — one of them sits at number one until midnight, then the list resets. We are not trying to show you everything. We are trying to show you the one essay worth your full attention today, then let you go live your life. Photography deserves to be sat with, not swiped past. That is the whole idea, and it is enough.”
Start a 7-day free trial with full access to all thirty daily picks and the archive. You won't be charged until the trial ends, and we'll remind you before it does. Cancel any time before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
Cancel before the trial ends and you are never charged. If you are charged for your first paid period, our 7-day money-back guarantee on that first charge applies — email [email protected].
videozone works in any modern web browser on desktop, tablet, and phone. We do not currently offer a native mobile app, a smart-TV app, or offline downloads, and we won't claim features we haven't built.
Yes. After the free trial your membership renews automatically — monthly or annually, whichever you chose — at the price shown on the pricing section, until you cancel. There are no long-term contracts.
Our founder Mateo Herrera and a small Viljandi team watch the new submissions each morning and rank thirty by hand. It is human editorial judgement, not an algorithm optimising for watch time.
Every day at 00:00 in your own device's local timezone. The countdown on the page shows exactly how long until the next reset.
Not at the moment. videozone is web-only streaming today. If we add offline viewing in the future we'll say so clearly rather than imply it now.
videozone is operated by Valguskaader OÜ, registered at Uus tn 33-1, 71007 Viljandi, Estonia. You can reach us at [email protected].
A membership is intended for personal use by one person. We keep pricing low precisely so individuals don't need to share — see the Terms for the details.
Payments are processed over an encrypted connection. We don't store full card details on our own servers. Note that real checkout connects once subscription setup is finalised; until then the checkout button shows a neutral status notice.
Yes — photographers and filmmakers can send work for consideration to [email protected]. We review submissions for the daily ranking and the archive; inclusion is editorial and not guaranteed.
No. Number one holds only until midnight your local time, then the whole list of thirty is re-ranked the next morning. Yesterday's top pick moves into the archive for members.
