Our Story

Shootzu is an exciting start up in the photography and videography space (created in Melbourne, Australia), to assist in building trusted crew (second shooters, solo shooters, editors, assistants and more). It is an app designed for photographers and videographers to network and assist each other on projects.

Businesses can post a job including their rates. Local, vetted photographers and videographers can then apply for the job. Job listings will be easy to navigate and manage.

This is industry specific and only professional businesses with a valid company number will be accepted. Every member who asks to join will go through a quality verification process. Only those who meet the quality hurdles will be accepted onto the platform.

The contracts will be managed by the app, and core tools will be integrated into the process so that the photographers can focus on their core business.

The app will not allow users to devalue the profession (e.g. by not being able to provide a budget below award wage) and also will not allow users to advertise jobs for ‘free’ or ‘for exposure’.

Shootzu will also offer content and events to ensure users are getting relevant support in growing their business and business community, including but not limited to:

• Networking evenings (and training)
• Checklists and blogs on setting up and growing a profitable photography business
• Mentor program for junior shooters
• Podcasts on successful photography businesses

We look forward to welcoming you as a member of the Zu Crew!
