A space to list how much -- and how little -- magazines, newspapers, websites, NGOs and corporations pay photographers. Editorial, commercial, advertising, entertainment -- any and all presented. Listing based on anonymous submissions. This is intended as an exercise in sharing, rather than shaming -- but feel free to warn your fellow photogs about deadbeats.



No doubt, there will be conflicting reports. Outlets play favorites and situations vary. Still, the more data points, the fuller the picture for everyone. If you have a differing account of a particular client, feel free to add your info.



All the info on this site is shared anonymously, based on photographers' experiences and opinions. If you or your company have serious issues with inaccuracies in any particular post, feel free to email us at whopaysphotographers@gmail.com
