80% Photographer Commission

As a photographer/contributor, you may set your own price to charge for photos, or distribute photos for free. You will receive 80% of the selling price of your photos. Prices must be set in $1 USD increments.

Minimum Payout - $20 USD

We process payments on a monthly basis. A minimum account balance of $20 USD is required to process the payment. If your total unpaid earnings at the end of a month are less than the minimum payout amount of $20 USD, your earnings will remain in your account until your account balance reaches the minimum $20 threshold, at which point you will be paid on the regularly scheduled payment date for the month in which your account balance reaches the minimum payout amount.

Payouts by Paypal or Cheque - $10 fee for cheques

You may choose to receive your payments by Paypal or Cheque. This can be selected on your Photographer Dashboard under Payment Settings.

We will hold your earnings for a period of up to 12 months if are unable to get in touch.
