Business photographer and videographer search service

TOTTA is a matching platform where you can request a photo shoot directly from a professional photographer.

Since messages can be sent directly to the cameraman, it is possible to do everything from shooting consultations to shooting requests, payments, delivery, and issuing other estimates and invoices in one stop.

TOTTA is managed by Delta Creative Co., Ltd., which is in charge of the photography business.
I started with a photography business. It was established as a corporation in 2017 and has an office in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

TOTTA was founded by Hiroki Yamamoto (CEO of Delta Creative Co., Ltd.), an active professional photographer.

While talking with people in charge of many companies in the shooting business, although there are many search platforms for photographers, professional, high amateurs, and amateur photographers are mixed, and I was often consulted that there was no receptacle for the need to request photography only from professional photographers.

Therefore, Yamamoto developed TOTTA over 5 years and released it in 2022.

Direct request

You can have one-on-one communication by sending a message from each photographer's profile page.
After sending the message, the photographer will send an estimated fee and issue an estimate. If there is no problem with the content, payment will proceed and it will be the day of shooting.

Consultations about photography etc. can be made via chat or web conference at any time before and after the request.

There are 3 payment methods available: credit card, prepayment (bank transfer/corporate account only), and bill payment (bank transfer/corporate account only). For requests from individuals, only credit cards are accepted.

Open call

All photographers who meet the conditions will be notified of what they want to request. Each interested photographer will receive an estimate.
The process after that is similar to a “direct request.”

Photographers registered to the invoice system have a “registered invoice” tag displayed in search results and on each cameraman's profile page.

When requesting photography from a photographer who has already registered an invoice, the invoice registration number is displayed on the estimate/invoice.

When requesting a photo shoot from a corporate account

The following payment methods are supported.

• credit card
• Bill payment (deferred payment/bank transfer)
• Bank transfer (prepayment)

If you wish to pay an invoice, you will need to re-fill in information such as the company name and corporate number when requesting photography, and receive approval from the photographer in charge.
If the photographer refuses approval, you will not be able to use bill payment. Payment methods vary depending on the orderer's account type.
Switching between individual and corporate entities can be changed in the settings after logging in.

All TOTTA registered photographers are professional photographers who work as a living.

Professional photographers are concentrated in the Tokyo metropolitan area and Kansai area, where there is a lot of work, so depending on the details of the request, please consider requesting a business trip shooting from an urban area.

If you use the public recruitment function, you can find photographers smoothly.
