Before you sign up

Know what you're getting into

PYP is a directory, not an agency. Read these six points. They're the deal between you, us and the people who book you.

Your listing, your call

It's free, there's no account and we take no commission. Ask us to edit or delete your listing at any time and it comes down, no questions, no fee.

You set your own prices

PYP never sets, caps or negotiates your rates. Test shoots stay free between creatives only. Never work free for a commercial brand.

Use the contracts

Before you share designs or shoot, send the right agreement from the Contract Studio: Pre-Launch NDA, Model Release, TFP terms or a services agreement. It protects your copyright and your payment.

Money rules

Take a 25–50% deposit up front, balance on delivery. Copyright only passes to the client once the final invoice is paid in full.

Meeting clients in person

Shoot in a booked studio or public location, never a private address for a first job. Bring a chaperone or +1 if you want one. It's your right. Share your call sheet and location with someone you trust, and leave the moment you feel unsafe.

Conduct

Real name, real work, real photos. Harassment, fake portfolios or pressuring anyone into unpaid or unsafe work gets you removed from PYP permanently.
