TOTTA's photographers are all professionals whose job is photography.
In addition to side jobs and amateur photographers, those with 3 years or less of professional cameraman experience cannot register, so it is a suitable cameraman platform for when you want to request “important shoots” such as business photography or wedding photography.
Only photographers who do business-related photography are registered.
There are no fixed costs at all.
TOTTA has introduced a system called escrow (transaction maintenance) where contract parties (client and cameraman) make advance payments to the secretariat before placing an order and then send money to the cameraman after project completion in order to carry out transactions with peace of mind.
The fee after deducting the escrow fee will be remitted to the photographer's designated account after the project delivery work is completed. You can check the fee information on My Page.
In order not to induce futile price reduction competition, we have set a uniform minimum rate that can be proposed.
Not all photographers are able to offer a rate lower than the established minimum rate.
All marketing activities and PR to attract T customers are carried out by the secretariat.
Once you've registered for TOTTA, all you have to do is apply for open projects or complete your profile page and wait for requests.
Delta Creative Co., Ltd. is a photography company founded by a cameraman.
That's why we try to provide services that can be comfortably used not only by our clients but also by photographers.
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.
When money is transferred from the TOTTA office to the cameraman's account, the system automatically issues a receipt.
The URL will be sent by email, so please check there.
It's impossible.
Please be sure to handle deliveries on the TOTTA system. If delivery of a project cannot be confirmed by the secretariat, the project is considered “undelivered,” which causes trouble.
However, if delivery is completed from the TOTTA system, mail or face-to-face delivery is possible.
It's possible.
It is structured so that a message is sent after the estimated fee is issued, so please present a tentative estimated amount and send a message stating that the conditions presented cannot be handled.
All updates to profile information updated on My Page and the addition of new profile pages for newly registered photographers are done by hand by the secretariat.
In normal times, it will be updated in 2 to 3 business days, but we appreciate your understanding that it may take several months if the timing overlaps with the timing, such as during major system repairs.
The timing when the guarantee is transferred varies depending on the client's payment timing.
In the case of credit card payment: Delivery is closed at the end of each month, and payment is made by the end of the following month
In the case of prepayment: Delivery is closed at the end of each month, and payment is made by the end of the following month
In the case of deferred payment: Payment to the TOTTA Secretariat is closed at the end of each month, and payment is made by the end of the following month
(*The payment date for deferred payment invoices is issued as “delivery ends at the end of each month, payment at the end of the following month” or “delivery ends at the end of each month, and payment at the end of the following month.” (Please check the payment due date when requesting (when approved) from the client)
A review is required for TOTTA registration. Even professional photographers may not pass the screening process.
You can check the screening status on My Page after logging in to your photographer account.
There are many cases where the examination is completed from the shortest day to the next business day. We are checking with human eyes, so please wait a moment. Even if you call us, the time will not be faster, so please refrain from doing so.
Also, in order to use TOTTA, it is necessary to complete registration of the required items on the settings page.
I'm sorry. If you are a side job, please refrain from registering.
(However, this does not apply when the main business is work related to photography)
I'm sorry. Amateurs are not allowed to register.
TOTTA strictly prohibits sharing means of direct contact, such as email addresses or social media accounts, with clients you meet through TOTTA.
Please be aware that if these acts are confirmed, our TOTTA account may be suspended regardless of project execution transfer.
However, it is possible to contact the emergency contact information (mobile phone number) for joining after the order has been placed. (Even on the system, it will be disclosed after order acceptance is completed)
