From the field
“I shot two 10Ks last month I'd never have found on my own. The floor covered my day rate before a single photo sold.”

Questions
Before you sign up.
What’s your cut?
You keep 60% of every digital photo sale and 80% of net-after-COGS print sales. On a payment-backed assignment, eligible sale earnings count toward the guaranteed minimum. If they fall short after required coverage, settlement tops you up; if they exceed it, you keep the higher eligible earnings.
What’s the difference between Pro and Community tier?
Same rate, 60% on digital and 80% on prints, for both. The difference is price band and access: Pro photos sell at $14.99 to $24.99 and require identity verification plus liability insurance; Community photos sell at $3.99 with a lightweight signup. Race organizers typically accept Pro photographers for paid event assignments; Community is for spectator and family uploads.
When do I get paid?
Through Stripe Connect on the payout schedule configured for your account. Eligible floor and sales earnings are issued after the applicable release checks; bank settlement occurs afterward.
Do I own my photos?
Yes. You keep full copyright. Athletes buy a license to their own photos. You license, you don’t assign.
What if no one buys photos?
On a payment-backed assignment, the guaranteed floor protects you. Cover the event and clear the coverage gate, and you’re paid at least the floor. Rep-only shoots pay sales share only.
Is this only race photography?
For now, yes. Running races first. Cycling, triathlon and club events are on the roadmap.
