MORE THAN A PLACE TO POST

A place to build
the business behind your work.

Photog complements your website, social presence, and referrals. Bring your point of view; build another way for the right clients to find it.

01

Be found for what you shoot.

Build a searchable profile around your specialties, portfolio, and service area. Help clients understand your work before they reach out.

02

Keep the business side together.

Bring client requests, conversations, proposals, and project details into one workspace, with a clear next step from inquiry to delivery.

03

Take your business with you.

Use Photog Passport to add an upcoming travel market. Your portfolio and reputation stay with you as you work beyond your home base.

We’re building the marketplace together. Membership does not buy search placement, and joining does not guarantee clients or bookings.

START WITH YOUR WORK

Your work opens the door.

Share your portfolio first. If selected, you’ll receive an invitation to build your profile.

Join the Founding 50
  1. Show us your work

    Tell us your name, home market, experience, and up to three specialties. Share a portfolio link or upload three to five photos.

  2. We review your application

    Founding 50 selections are reviewed individually. Applying is free and does not create an account or publish your submitted photos.

  3. Get invited to build your profile

    If selected, you’ll receive a secure invitation by email. Complete your profile and identity verification to prepare for publication.

BEFORE YOU JOIN

A few things worth knowing.

Who is Founding 50 for?

Photographers age 18 or older who can share work they created or are authorized to submit. Choose up to three specialties. Experience gives us context; it does not automatically determine selection.

Do all photographers need to be verified?

Yes. Every photographer must complete identity verification before their profile can be published. Being selected for Founding 50 does not bypass verification. If selected, you’ll be guided through verification when setting up your profile.

Do I need to upload photos?

You can share one publicly accessible portfolio link instead. If you prefer uploading, choose three to five examples of your work. Large JPG, PNG, and WebP photos are resized automatically.

What does it cost?

There is no application fee or card required to apply. Selected Founding 50 photographers receive Photog Pro free for one full year. Booking fees and future membership choices are separate from this application.

Will my application photos be public?

No. The link or photos you submit are for private application review. If invited, you’ll choose the work for your public profile separately.
