Where to shoot

One account — three ways to work. You can combine them.

Waterfront, centre, parks

  • You photograph couples, families and tourists in busy places
  • You walk up and show the code on your phone — no badge needed
  • In the evening the person finds themselves by day and place
The hardest part is walking up

Three phrases that make walking up easy

Most people who upload 50+ photos a day make sales in their first month. The key is to show the code.

  • I just took your photo — look how it came outShow the shot on the camera. The person will want it themselves.
  • Here's my code — the photos will be online tonightThe code is on your phone screen, the person photographs it or the QR.
  • Viewing is free, you buy only if you like themTakes the pressure off: no obligation.

Questions and answers

How can a photographer make a living without regular clients?

**With PhotoHunter, you don’t need to have your own client base or look for bookings in advance!** You can take photos of people at popular tourist spots, in parks, on promenades, at festivals and other crowded locations, in any country in the world, provided you have obtained their consent to be photographed beforehand. **How does it work?** 1. Choose a popular location and offer people a professional photo shoot. 2. After the shoot, give them the **PhotoHunter.pro** link and your unique access code. 3. The client enters the code on the website’s homepage and finds their photos once you’ve uploaded them, for example the following day. 4. If they like the photos, the client can purchase them online. **No advance orders or compulsory prepayment!** The client decides for themselves whether to buy the finished photos. PhotoHunter allows photographers to find new clients independently and earn money from their photos without needing a regular client base. Clarify when the photos will be available and ask for consent to take the photos more clearly

Is it allowed to film events and rides?

**Yes! PhotoHunter is ideal for taking photos at events, festivals, amusement parks and other entertainment venues.** You can create a separate **QR code** for each photo session. Simply show it to visitors — they can scan the code and receive a link to their photos. As soon as you upload the finished photos to PhotoHunter, customers will be able to view them and decide for themselves whether they wish to purchase them. **No upfront payment!** Customers only pay for the photos they like. This is a convenient way to earn money at large events by offering visitors professional photographs without them having to pay for the shoot in advance. **Important:** before you start taking photos, make sure that the event organisers or venue owners allow commercial photography.

How much does registration cost?

Registration on the website is free. There are no subscription fees. The platform takes 20 per cent only on photos sold; the photographer keeps the remaining 80 per cent.

How much can you earn in a month?

According to the PhotoHunter platform, **a photographer’s average earnings can range from $25 per hour** of active photography. Test results show that **potential earnings can range from $800 to $3,000 a month**, and in some cases even more. **Earnings can vary significantly depending on the country and region.** For example, in the US, the cost of photographs and potential earnings may be higher than in countries with lower purchasing power. Your earnings are influenced by: - **Country and city** — price levels and customers’ purchasing power. - **A well-chosen location** — popular tourist spots, parks and areas with high footfall can generate more sales. - **Number of photographs** — the more high-quality shots you take, the higher your earning potential. - **Seasonality and shooting times** — the tourist season, weekends and public holidays can affect demand. - **The photographer’s professionalism** — the quality of the photographs, the ability to communicate with people and to present your services effectively. **Important:** PhotoHunter places no limits on your potential earnings. Your income depends primarily on you, the location you choose, your activity level and the number of photos sold. The figures given are indicative and do not guarantee a fixed income.

How do I withdraw money?

You can withdraw your earnings to a bank card via your personal account. - **First withdrawal** — from 100 ₴. - **Subsequent withdrawals** — from 500 ₴. - **Platform commission** — 20% of the price of the photograph sold. - **Time taken for funds to be credited** — between 1 and 24 hours from the time the withdrawal request is submitted. Funds are credited directly to the bank card you have specified.

What sort of camera do I need?

To take part, we recommend using a semi-professional or professional camera (DSLR or mirrorless). It is preferable to take photos with a camera rather than a smartphone to ensure high-quality images. **Particular attention should be paid to fast lenses**, which allow you to achieve a beautiful background blur, a sharp image and high-quality photographs even in low light. Recommended lenses: - **85 mm f/1.2, f/1.4 or f/1.8** — an excellent choice for portrait photography. - **135 mm f/1.8 or f/2.0** — ideal for expressive portraits with a beautiful background blur. - **70–200 mm f/2.8** — a versatile professional zoom lens that allows you to shoot from various distances. The key lies not only in the equipment, but also in the ability to work with light, composition and the subject. High-quality, sharp and aesthetically pleasing photographs always have the edge.

Is it allowed to take photos of people in the street without their permission?

**We do not recommend photographing people without their consent.** Although this practice is sometimes used in street photography, it is best to obtain the person’s permission before taking a photograph. **This applies particularly to children under the age of 18.** We strongly recommend that you do not photograph minors without the prior consent of their parents or legal guardians. **How should you go about asking someone to be photographed?** The best way is to approach the person politely, introduce yourself and offer to take a few professional photographs. Be sure to explain that: - The photo shoot itself does not require payment on the spot. - The finished photographs can be viewed and purchased on the PhotoHunter website. - Inform them of the cost of the photographs in advance so that they understand the terms and conditions before the shoot begins. **Be sure to show examples of your work!** A high-quality portfolio will help to spark a potential client’s interest and build trust. Remember: **the better your photographs and portfolio, the greater your chances of attracting a client’s interest, securing their consent for the shoot and selling the finished photographs.**

Do you need professional experience to use PhotoHunter?

**No, professional experience isn’t essential!** PhotoHunter is suitable for both experienced photographers and beginners who want to earn money from their photos. The main thing is to be able to take high-quality, appealing photos, work with light effectively, choose the right angles and connect with people. **Your earnings depend not on the number of years’ experience, but on the quality of your photographs, your activity level and your ability to engage clients.** Even if you’re just starting out in photography, PhotoHunter can be a great opportunity to gain practical experience, develop your skills and earn money doing what you love.

In which countries can you work with PhotoHunter?

**PhotoHunter is an international platform that enables photographers to earn money from their photos in various countries around the world.** You can take photos of people at popular tourist spots, in parks, on promenades, at resorts, at festivals and other locations where there are potential customers. **Earnings may vary depending on the country, city and customers’ purchasing power.** For example, in the US and Western European countries, the cost of photographs may be higher than in other regions. The key is to choose the right locations, take high-quality photographs and comply with local regulations on commercial photography. **Important:** your ability to receive payments depends on whether bank transfers are supported in your country.

How do you go about asking a stranger to take a photo?

**The key is to be friendly, confident and not to push your services on people.** Approach the person, greet them politely, introduce yourself as a PhotoHunter photographer and offer to take a few professional photographs. **For example:** ‘Good afternoon! I’m a photographer with the PhotoHunter platform. I can take some lovely professional photos for you. There’s no need to pay anything right now! Tomorrow you’ll be able to view your photos on the website and, if you like them, purchase them. The cost per photo is ___.” **Be sure to show examples of your work!** A high-quality portfolio will help build trust and spark the potential client’s interest. After the shoot, provide the person with a link to PhotoHunter.pro and a personal access code, which they can use to find their photos. **A few important tips:** - Smile and be friendly. - State the price of the finished photographs straight away. - Show the best examples from your portfolio. - Don’t insist on taking photos if the person refuses. - Always obtain consent before taking photographs. **Remember:** the better you communicate with people and present your work, the greater your chances of attracting clients and increasing your sales.

How does a customer find their photos?

**Finding your photos on PhotoHunter is really easy!** After the photo shoot, the photographer provides the client with a link to the **PhotoHunter.pro** website and a unique access code or QR code. **How does it work?** 1. Go to the **PhotoHunter.pro** website. 2. Enter the access code you received from the photographer on the homepage or scan the QR code. 3. Once the photographer has uploaded the photos, you’ll be able to view them. 4. Select the photos you like, pay for them online and download them to your device. **No upfront payment!** The client decides for themselves which photos to buy and pays only for the ones they like. **Tip for photographers:** be sure to let clients know when the photos will be available to view, and remind them to keep their access code safe.
