Spots are limited. We review every portfolio personally.
The math that matters.
Most platforms charge photographers a monthly fee whether they work or not, plus a cut of every job. We do one. You only pay when you get paid.
Founding rate
10%
per booking, locked for life
Standard
15%
per booking
At our founding rate, you keep 90¢ of every dollar. At standard industry rates, you keep 85¢. On a $500 shoot, that's an extra $25 in your pocket - every time.
No monthly fee. No upfront cost. No fee for unused listings.
Is this for you?
We'd rather have 20 excellent photographers than 200 inconsistent ones. The bar is real.
We'll be straight with you.
Shuttercat is new. We're not going to pretend we have thousands of clients waiting. What we do have:
"The photographers who join now will be the ones clients find first, trust first, and book first. That's not a pitch - it's how marketplaces work."
