We are excited to announce that Shoott has successfully raised $2.7 million in our latest funding round, marking a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize outdoor portrait photography. Founded in 2018, Shoott has quickly become the go-to service for anyone looking for “Insta-worthy” 30-minute outdoor photo sessions that are free to book, with customers only paying for the photos they love. Our innovative platform bridges the gap between busy urban photographers and the growing demand for high-quality, spontaneous portrait sessions, ensuring that every session is both effortless for our clients and rewarding for our professionals.
The funds raised will be strategically deployed to accelerate our expansion into new markets and further enhance our technological capabilities to optimize the matching process between customers and local photography talent. With a solid reputation reinforced by a 4.9-star rating across Google, Facebook, and TripAdvisor, and having already established our presence in over 600 locations across 60+ cities, we see tremendous potential to scale our operations and continue delivering exceptional experiences. Additionally, a portion of the new investment will be dedicated to supporting our talented network of photographers—ensuring they receive fair compensation with a minimum guarantee of $100 per shooting hour, along with flexible scheduling options and regular bimonthly paychecks. This commitment not only strengthens our team’s trust and motivation but also solidifies our promise to deliver top-quality service every time. We look forward to exploring new frontiers in the photography industry and are grateful for the support that will help us capture more unforgettable moments.
