WP Four Corners

Four Corners is a way for photo-journalists and content creators to display a rich visual overlay of metadata onto their web-based images. Announced at World Press Photo Foundation awards ceremony 2016, this simple drop-in javascript library automatically augments selected photos with additional content, curated by the content owner.

See the Project Site for more background on the project and future directions.

WP-Four Corners

WP-Four Corners simplifies the process of embedding the Four Corners library and creating Four Corners images in your wordpress site.

the plugin adds an additional ‘insert four corners’ button to the editor toolbar, which links to the external Four Corners Metadata Editor. We overlay the Four Corners Metadata Editor directly into the wordpress text editor to enable you to modify the associated metadata of the image, then store this inline with the post / page. Four Corners Metadata Editor runs completely client-side and does not retain copies of your images and or metadata, our scripts run entirely in your browser to ensure your images and authorship are secure.

Four Corners Vision

The Four Corners Project aims to increase the authorship and authority of the photographer by providing a template to add context to each of the four corners of a photograph.

This contextualization is intended to remain with the photograph as it is re-published and travels throughout the Internet, adding to the credibility of the image in an era in which the veracity of media is being constantly challenged.
