Your onboarding checklist

The steps from creating your account to landing your first assignment.

The four steps

When you create your photographer account, a short onboarding walks you through getting ready to shoot and get paid. You can leave and come back, and it remembers where you were, so a step like connecting Stripe does not make you start over.

  1. Welcome: a quick intro to how it works.
  2. Connect Stripe: set up payouts so your earnings can reach your bank. You need this done before the next step.
  3. Build your profile: add a display name so race directors and athletes can see who took the photo.
  4. Opportunity: get active by applying to an event or accepting an invite.

Finishing later

If you skip payout setup, a reminder to finish it stays on your account until it is done. Photos can start selling before payouts are connected, but connecting early means nothing is held up.
