More than a marketplace
Find your sessions. Share your shots. Join the lineup.
0% platform commission for your first 3 months
Upload your sessions, set your own prices, and get paid directly.
We handle the rest.
Sign up, select the Photographer role, and set up your profile. Takes a few minutes.
Link your bank account via Stripe Connect so you can get paid directly. Quick setup, one time only.
Drag and drop photos and videos, tag the location and date, set your prices. EXIF auto-read does the heavy lifting.
Watermarked previews go live. Surfers find their shots, add to cart, and check out securely via Stripe.
Keep everything you earn while you get started. After that, just 10%, matching the lowest rate in Australia and well below the 15-22% most platforms charge.
Full control over what you charge per photo or video. Your work, your call.
Automatic watermarking on all previews. Originals are access-restricted and only released after confirmed purchase.
Upload entire sessions with drag and drop, photos and videos (MP4, MOV). EXIF auto-read handles dates, everything organised by location and session.
You set the prices. Here's what photographers typically earn on SurfLink.
No monthly fees. No setup costs. No lock-in. No hidden charges.
Stripe processing fees (~2.9% + A$0.30 per transaction) are standard across all payment platforms and are deducted separately from each sale.
Every photo and video gets a diagonal repeating watermark, the same industry-standard approach used by Shutterstock and Getty. Surfers browse watermarked previews, and full-resolution originals are stored securely and only released after confirmed purchase.
No extra steps on your end. Upload your session and the watermarking happens automatically.
All uploads are automatically screened by our content moderation system to keep the platform safe and focused on surf photography. Inappropriate content is detected and removed before it goes live.
Create your account and start uploading, it takes a few minutes to get your first session live.
