For customers

Find your photographer by their work

You choose the photos you love before you know who took them.

  1. Pick what you need

    Choose a kind of photography and a round of 50 or 100 photos from photographers near you.

  2. Swipe blind

    Right to like, left to pass. Names stay hidden until the round ends, so you’re judging the work and nothing else.

  3. Super like the standouts

    Swipe up on a photo you love, up to 3 a round. It matches you with that photographer straight away and brings more of their work into the round.

  4. See who you picked

    When the round ends, the photographers you liked most are revealed.

  5. Match and talk

    Like 3 photos from the same photographer, across any of your rounds, and you match. Then message them to book.

Free for customers. Nothing to unlock.

For photographers

Get chosen for your work

Customers near you swipe through photos without knowing who took them. No names, no follower counts. Just the work.

    Up to 25 photos in each specialty you choose. Pin up to 3 per specialty to always lead your rounds.

  2. Customers swipe blind

    Your photos are dealt into rounds for customers within the area you say you’ll travel. They like or pass without seeing your name.

  3. Match

    When a customer likes 3 of your photos, or super likes one, you match, and you’re notified.

  4. Talk and book

    Message matched customers directly. Set a starting price for each specialty so customers searching with a budget can find you.

Judged on the work

Most ways of finding a photographer reward whoever is best at being found.

Follower counts, reviews, ads and word of mouth all say something, but none of it is the photo. In a round, none of it shows. A photographer who started last spring gets the same frame as one with fifty thousand followers.

You find out who you picked only after you’ve picked. Photographers find out what their work does on its own, and customers who wouldn’t have scrolled far enough to find them get to see it.
