FAQs – Customer

What is Shotzy?

Capturing life’s moments has never been simpler. With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can find and hire a qualified and available photographer nearby. Our goal is to help you be both in the moment and in the picture.

Why Shotzy?

We exist to ensure that you get to live in the moment and enjoy every second of it! We hope to eliminate those awkward selfies and underexposed cellphone pictures. Sit back and enjoy! Allow us to capture your memories so you don’t miss a thing!

How does it work?

First download the app from either the App Store or Google Play. Next, click “Request Photographer” and answer three simple questions – where, when, and who? If you’re ready to go, just tap “Submit,” then provide some basic personal information and a payment method. Your selected photographers will then receive an invitation to your shoot. When one accepts, you’ll be notified and have the option to connect directly with your Shotzy photographer or just show up on the day and time you selected. On the day and time of the shoot, you and your photographer meet up at your selected location, and that’s when the magic happens. Your photographer will take some great shots while you enjoy the moment. Your child’s baseball game, family events, business gatherings, the possibilities are endless. Once the shoot is over, your photographer will head back to the studio, perform some basic editing and provide a link to your images right within the app. You’ll then click on the link to access your photos, your credit card will get billed, and you’ll be a happy camper!

How do I get started?

It’s easy! Just download Shotzy from the App Store or Google Play. From there, just follow the prompts.

How much does Shotzy cost?

Shotzy is free to download and free to use. Only when you’re ready to book an event will you be charged a flat rate of $99 per hour.

What about editing?

Our photographers will provide basic editing such as selecting the best images, cropping, and color corrections. If you’d like more extensive editing, consider adding more time to your job and discuss your request with your photographer. As a rule, your photographer will be on site for 45 minutes of every hour you book. The remaining 15 minutes are for your photographer to edit your photos.

Who owns the pictures?

You have the rights to use the photos for personal use (not commercial). Print them, share them, and hopefully frame a few.

How many pictures do I get?

The final number of photos depends on several factors including event size, duration, attendance, etc. Our goal is to provide basic edits and deliver every good photo that is taken during your shoot.

How quickly do I get my photos?

Shotzy will notify you when your images are ready. You’ll see a link to your photos right in the app. For most shoots, images are ready within five days of the shoot.

FAQs – Photographer

What is Shotzy?

Shotzy is a mobile app that connects clients with photographers. Our goal is to help photographers hone their skills, get more clients, and make more money.

Why Shotzy?

There are always opportunities for growth! Allow Shotzy to assist you in making more money, expanding your portfolio, and reaching new clients. Work when and where it’s convenient for you. Shotzy is here to help you succeed!

How does it work?

Just download the app from either the App Store or Google Play. Complete the registration process, and someone from Shotzy will follow up with you. If you’ve done good work before, verification should be painless. Once I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed, we’ll switch you to “verified” and you’ll start receiving opportunities. You may either accept or decline, and being on Shotzy is always free. If hired, you’ll get all the info you need to go to the shoot and do a great job. If you need more details, you have the option to connect with the client right within the app. Once on your job, just be your professional self and take photos. Once the shoot is over, head back to the studio, complete some basic editing and provide the client a link to the photos within the app. Once that’s done, you’ll get paid within seven days.

How do I get started?

Download Shotzy from the App Store or Google Play. Next, tap “For Photographers” in the upper right and complete the registration process. Heads up, we did our best to make this process easy, but because we’re out to build an awesome community of photographers, we have to ask some detailed questions. Also, we do need some sensitive information so that we can ensure you’re on the up and up. We need some important personal data so we can pay you. We’re just like any other on-demand service app. We need a few details up front, but after that it’s easy-peasy.

Why do I need to give tax ID and/or social security number?

We request certain personal information in order to maintain a level of safety within the PhotoSesh community and to properly process 1099 independent contractors. We only require the last four digits of your social security number. Our goal is to on-board photographers to our platform most efficiently using background checks and to keep compliance with issuing year-end 1099s to qualified earners. We also need certain personal information in order to compensate photographers via direct deposit.

How much does Shotzy cost?

Shotzy is free to download and free to use. Once you’re verified and start taking jobs, Shotzy splits the hourly rate – 80% for you and 20% for Shotzy.

What about editing?

Shotzy photographers must be proficient in basic editing skills such as color corrections and cropping. We’ll discuss this in more detail during the on-boarding process.

Is there a dress code?

First and foremost, be professional! We’ll discuss this further during the on-boarding process. Remember, your customer will be rating you. Show up on time, look sharp, and do a great job. And yes – Shotzy swag is a must! We need our clients to know who you are and be able to spot you in a crowd!

Who owns the pictures?

You retain the copyright.

How quickly do I have to deliver my photos?

As quickly as possible. Your clients are eager to get their images and give you a great review, so please be responsive. As a rule you should take no more than five days to send your client the link to their images. But faster is better.

How many pictures should I take?

Never stop shooting! From the moment you show up to the moment you leave, we want you to wear out your shutter finger! Feel out the crowd – be receptive to requests and shoot-shoot-shoot! That being said, it’s always better to have too much material rather than not having enough!

Can I give my personal business card to clients Shotzy brings to me?

Sorry, not cool. Shotzy brought you the client, so you should be wearing your Shotzy hat (figuratively – all we’ve got is T-shirts right now) at all Shotzy sessions. Respect the Shotzy community, and it will respect you.

What kind of experience and equipment do I need?

While experience is appreciated, we are more interested in a solid portfolio and equipment knowledge. A DSLR with multiple lenses and a shoe-mounted flash are a must. Everyone will want to talk shop with you, and we need you to be able to chat them up! Beyond that, a basic understanding of a photo editing software is critical to delivering our brand standards.

How do I make money?

It’s easy! Register, accept opportunities, take pictures, perform simple edits, deliver the images, and get paid. Payments will arrive seven days after providing the customer with a link to the images.

How do I get jobs on Shotzy?

First and foremost, you’ve got to register. Submit a complete profile, and someone from Shotzy will follow up with you. Once verified, stay logged into the app and keep notifications and location services turned on. If you get a notification to an opportunity and you’re the first to accept, you get the job!
