A quick note on what this is and who it's for.
Production teams pay to use ShootBuddy. Photographers don't.
ShootBuddy provides photography managers, publicists and producers access to AI based tech that makes planning their publicity coverage easy, even as schedules change.
Profiles are reserved for photographers who've worked on an Image Approvals production, come recommended by someone who has, or have a demonstrated a good level of work in the industry.
International reach. Whether you're based in the UK, US, Europe or anywhere else; ShootBuddy is used by publicists and photo managers worldwide who are looking for photographers for their next project.
Be the photographer they remember. When producers are planning their next shoot, your profile is in the room — even when you aren't.
Block out your dates. Mark when you're unavailable and stop producers calling you on holiday.
Free for photographers. Production teams pay us for the scheduling platform — that's how the business works today. If we ever introduce a paid tier or optional extras for photographers, you'd hear it from us upfront and always have the option to deactivate your profile.
No pitch. Either it's useful to you or it isn't — and we're relaxed about which. You can unpublish or remove your profile at any time if you change your mind.
Let's start by confirming your email address.
