How it works

You tell us what you need photographed. We choose the photographer. You book directly with them. Here's every step, and who handles what.

1

You describe the job

Through the form or the message bubble: type of shoot, city, date, rough duration, number of people and how the photos will be used. No need for an exact budget or technical vocabulary.

2

We choose the photographer

We look at who in the network has done this kind of job, works in your area and is free on your date. We check with them before introducing them: you don't get a list of names to chase.

3

You get their quote

The photographer sends their own quote: hours, number of photos, delivery time, travel and usage rights. You can ask questions and adjust before accepting.

4

You book with them

You sign the photographer's contract and pay their deposit on their terms. From there, they are your point of contact for the shoot.

5

Shoot and delivery

The photographer shoots, edits (themselves or through our post-production service) and delivers your images in a private gallery.

Who pays whom

You only pay the photographer, at the price in their quote. The network is paid by the photographer, through a commission on the jobs we send them. That's why matching is free for you, and why the price isn't inflated by a middleman: the photographer sets their rate exactly as they would for a client they found themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Is matching really free?
Yes. You only pay the photographer, according to their quote.
Why not contact a photographer directly?
You can. The network saves you the search and keeps you from hiring someone who has never done your type of shoot.
What if the photographer isn't the right fit?
Tell us. We'll suggest another one if the network has someone available.
What happens if there is a problem?
Write to us. We liaise with the photographer to find a solution, even though the contract is between the two of you.
Can I ask for a specific photographer?
Yes, if you have worked with a network member before. We'll check their availability.
