Shrpa connects content creators with destination marketing teams who pay for photo and video content. Easily find, book, and manage paid travel work in one place. Apply for and accept the opportunities that work with your schedule and your interests, and skip the part where you pitch strangers for work.
It’s free for creators
All creator features are free for you to use on Shrpa, including your portfolio.
Why join Shrpa?
Focus on creating, not chasing work
- Easy access and application. No pitching required. Apply to curated opportunities that match your style and schedule.
- Streamlined workflow. Shrpa handles logistics: pitch, communication, approvals, and content review. Rates are fixed and increase with experience.
- Fast payment. Payment is issued quickly after your content is reviewed. No invoicing required, and tax documents are provided at year-end.
- Trusted by destinations. Destinations know what to expect with Shrpa’s system, and that reliable framework means more bookings over time.
A free portfolio destinations actually browse
Showcase your work with a personalized portfolio that destinations can explore. When you apply for a creator visit, the destination sees your profile, your featured photos and videos, and your recent adventures alongside your application.
How to become eligible
Shrpa works with hundreds of destinations across the US, and becoming eligible takes two steps.
Create your profile and set a travel boundary
Your boundary decides which opportunities you hear about. You can change it any time to pick up collabs in other areas you’re travelling to.
Add 15 photos or videos and 1 adventure to your portfolio
These can come from trips you have already taken. Show a variety of shots: selfie, action, landscape. Let one adventure demonstrate your photo and writing style.
That’s the whole requirement. Once it’s done you’ll start receiving email notifications about paid creator visits in your region, and you can review the details before applying or declining.
What a visit pays
Shrpa pays a flat rate per creator visit that rises with the number of visits you have completed, and you always see the payment and value of a visit before you apply. Read the full breakdown in creator visit expectations, or walk through how a creator visit works from application to payout.
