STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS APP
This company will screw you over!! The very first chance it gets. I did one job for them, which was fine. Then another job was posted for a professional photo shoot. I asked for a level upgrade which they did. I did the job and they were happy with it. Then another job came up and the photos were rejected. Not only did I get screwed out of the job pay but then they lowered my rating. Like the other jobs that they were happy with didn’t matter. I offered to reshoot it and they didn’t want that. They just wanted to act unprofessional and go pout in the corner. I photographed celebrities and everybody likes my work except this company

Don’t waste your time
I signed up for FotoFetch as a professional photographer and it was a mistake.
They move the goalposts, change requirements after the job is done, and then claim your work doesn’t qualify so they don’t have to pay you.
When I pushed back about getting paid for a completed job, I was told I’m not a contractor or employee, just a “supplier of digital goods,” and that they simply won’t buy my content if they say it doesn’t meet their internal rules.
In practice that means you take all the risk—time, fuel, and effort—while they keep all the power to walk away owing you nothing.
The pattern is clear: they send you out to shoot, then reject images for reasons that weren’t in the original brief, or demand unpaid reshoots that weren’t your fault. If you push back, they can delete the job and your account.
What really bothers me is how one-sided this setup is. You’re doing real work, spending real money on gas and equipment wear, and they’ve structured the whole system so they have “final say” on whether your photos are acceptable. That gives them all the leverage to reject anything they want.
Other photographers report the same issues: arbitrary rejections, shifting standards, and a business model that feels designed to extract free work from people who can’t afford to fight back.
If you’re thinking about signing up, understand this is not a professional partnership. It’s a high-risk gamble with your time and resources, where the platform holds all the cards and you’re left hoping they’ll decide to actually pay you for work you’ve already completed.
My advice: don’t waste your time or gas. There are better ways to build your business than working for a platform that treats photographers as disposable.
I’d rate them zero if I could.
