04 — Photographer FAQ
Frequently asked
What kinds of photographers do you work with?
Independents covering high-school sports — football, basketball, soccer, baseball, wrestling, cheer, all of it. Full-time pros, part-time coaches with cameras, and journalism students all welcome. We do require sample work that meets a quality bar.
Do I have to use your gallery tooling, or can I export?
You can do both. Upload raws or hi-res JPEGs to a shoot, sell prints and books through MyPicLab, and still hand off original files to whoever you want. Galleries are private until you publish them.
How fast do I get paid?
We run payout cycles on a regular schedule (twice monthly) and pay you via your chosen method — ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or check. Our 15% platform fee plus card-processing costs are taken at point of sale, so your payout amount is exactly what you see in your studio dashboard.
Can teams or schools get a revenue share?
Yes. When you shoot for a team, you can set a percentage of each sale to route to that team or booster club. Helps schools approve sideline access and keeps everyone aligned.
What if I'm already on SmugMug / Pixieset / etc.?
Many of our photographers use MyPicLab as the print + book sales channel and keep their galleries elsewhere. You can also fully migrate — we have an importer for SmugMug and Pixieset.
