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.

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.
