Built for photography.
Not plumbing.
Most booking platforms treat photography like any other service. We don't.
The problem with general marketplaces
A platform that actually works for photographers
Built by people who understand the photography business.
Your rates. Your rules.
You set your own pricing. We never touch it. Book a $200 portrait or a $2,000 brand shoot - Shuttercat takes the same small percentage either way. Only when you earn.
Clients come to you
No chasing leads. No paying to pitch. Clients search by session type, browse your portfolio, and book you directly. Your calendar fills without the hustle.
Quality over quantity
Every photographer on Shuttercat is portfolio-reviewed before approval. That means clients trust the platform - and trust leads to bookings.
A better way to find a photographer
No guesswork. No generic results. Just the right photographer for the job.
See pricing upfront
No mystery quotes. No waiting for a response to find out if you can afford it. Every photographer lists their rates. You know what you're paying before you book.
Browse by what you actually need
Looking for a headshot photographer? A dating profile session? Brand content? Search by session type - not just "photography" - and find someone who specializes in exactly what you need.
Every photographer is vetted
Portfolio reviewed. ID verified. You're not rolling the dice on a stranger with a camera. Every photographer on Shuttercat has been approved by our team.
Founding photographer spots are open
The first 25 photographers in each launch city lock in a permanent 10% platform fee - our lowest rate, forever. After founding spots fill, the rate goes to 15%. If you're a working photographer, now is the time.
