Transparency

Before we continue, we want to be clear about how our current editorial collaboration works.

I understand that at this stage collaboration with FOOTSTEPS is unpaid editorial use based on a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence. In return, I receive visibility: a dedicated photographer page, full credit, and links to my own portfolio. I've read, or will read, the Image Licensing summary and Image Licensing Agreement. *

Choose all that truly fit you.

People & portraits Places & architecture Landscapes & nature Food, wine & craft Street & documentary moments Hotel & interior spaces

Describe your visual style (optional)

A few sentences are enough. Write in your own voice.

Portfolio / website URL *

This is the main place where we can see your work. If we collaborate, we'll link this URL on your dedicated page and in your image credit.

Social profile (optional)

Are you comfortable being credited publicly? *

Yes, always Yes, but I may occasionally prefer to stay anonymous I prefer not to be mentioned by name

Optional support

Besides the editorial project, we're also developing paid services for photographers who want a stronger digital presence with hospitality and tourism clients.

I'm interested in help creating or improving my portfolio website. I'm interested in a future image library / licensing system for my archive (searchable, with standard licences).

What types of collaboration would you like us to consider?

Editorial collaboration today is unpaid and exposure-based. Future paid options will be covered by separate agreements.

Editorial use in the FOOTSTEPS magazine and online guide (unpaid, exposure-based, under the Image Licensing Agreement). Image sales through a future FOOTSTEPS marketplace (paid, with up to 20% commission on each sale). Direct collaboration with hotels (assignments, licensing, etc., under separate commercial terms).
