Photographer Verification

What the verified badge actually means.

3 min read

Identity verification

Every photographer submits government-issued ID which is verified before their profile can go live. The name on the profile is the person who arrives at your shoot.

Portfolio review

Submitted portfolios are reviewed for authenticity and quality. Watermark checks and reverse-image searches keep stolen work off the platform.

Ongoing standards

Verification isn't one-and-done. Ratings, completion rate and OTP compliance are monitored continuously; profiles that fall below standard lose the badge and visibility.

  • Look for the orange verified badge on profiles.
  • Review counts only include completed, OTP-verified bookings.
