Every feature

You know the work is worth more than one fee

Everyone who designed, built or sold a property could license your photographs and film of it, from a house to a hotel. Collecting has meant finding the right person, writing every email and setting every fee by hand. So most of it never happens.

01

Find who could license it

The address starts it. Resid finds everyone who designed, built, furnished or sold the property, and how to reach each one.

001.
Add a property you have shot
Residential or commercial. A home means the architect, builder, developer and designer. On a commercial building Resid looks for the architect, the general contractor, the owner or developer, the interior designer, the engineer and the operator or tenant.
Type the address once. Resid names everyone who worked on it, with a first price and a published email for each.
Finding the buyers
Every room is full of buyers

Knowing the company is the easy part. Resid finds the one person there who handles licensing.

Once any photographer on Resid finds a brand’s licensing contact, it is instant and free for everyone after.
You know what is in the room. Name the brands, or upload a close-up of each mark. Three photos free on any plan.
02

Price it and send it

A fee for every company, and an email about its own part of the work, in your voice and from your own inbox.

002.
Price each license
For each company, Resid recommends a fee tuned to who is buying and how they’ll use it, for the term and the market you set.
003.
Send the email in your voice
Two drafts for each company, each about what it did: a builder hears “the home you built”, an architect “the building you designed”. Pick one and send it from your own inbox, so every reply comes back to you. Switch on nudges and they follow on day four and day ten, in the same thread, until they pay or you mark a reply.
You read every pitch before it goes.
03

Deliver and get paid

They select in a private gallery and pay on the license page. The files release, the agreement issues, and your phone tells you.

004.
They select, pay and take delivery
Each company selects in its own private gallery, down to the exact cut of a film. The full-resolution photographs, and each film as a high-quality MP4, release the moment they pay. The agreement names exactly what they licensed and carries its own reference number. After their first payment they get a client portal with every file and agreement, and a Renew this license press when the term is up.
Client delivery

Deliver every shoot, with no fee per delivery

Your client opens their photographs and film, ready, and takes them in one press.

  • Downloads included, or after they pay. The amount goes to you.
  • Photographs and film in one gallery. Nothing to upload anywhere else.
  • Every delivery waits in their library, and you see when they open it, download it and pay.
Start free →

Three deliveries a month on Pay as you go. Unlimited on Pro.

Booking

Booked while you were shooting

Agents book from one link. Builders, architects and designers send their project and book it at your price. Every shoot lands in your Schedule.

Start free →

On every plan, with no fee per booking. Your own address on Pro.

Gradient: bottom Export
Client galleries

One gallery, every selection

Send one link with the photographs and film together. Clients select what they want, and the selection comes back to you, ready to price.

✓
A cover for each company, with its own logo over your work.
✓
Film plays in the gallery, every cut of it. Clients note the exact second, and you see who watched and how far they got.
✓
Downloads open for the client you deliver to, and for each company once its license is paid. On Pro, the gallery carries your brand and can open on your own address.
Three layouts: an even grid, a big cover then a grid, or one photo at a time.
Previews carry your studio logo. The licensed original never does.
One press opens downloads for one person.
While you shoot

It works while you shoot

You are on set, in the edit or on the way to the next property. This is what Resid does in the meantime.

Day 4, then day 10
A quiet nudge on the same thread, if you switch it on. It stops when they pay, or when you mark a reply.
The first time they open the license page
You get an email and a notification, and while they are still reading, you can see them there.
The second they pay
Their files release, the agreement issues, and Resid emails them their client portal. The money is on its way to you.
Before the term ends
The renewal offer is drafted thirty days out and again at seven, and waits in your Outbox.

  2. Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
  3. In Settings, turn on Notify me on this iPhone.

Protect your work

License the uses you find, and register every delivery with the Copyright Office.

Sightings

Your work is already out there

You see it all the time: a builder’s post, an agent’s just-sold carousel, a brand’s page with the frame you delivered. Paste the link. Resid prices exactly what they used and drafts the pitch from the post itself.

✓
Every sighting shows what you sent, whether they replied, and when they opened the license page. While they are reading it, the row says so, live.
✓
When a nudge goes quiet, Resid drafts an Instagram DM and a text instead of the same email again.
✓
The license covers the time the work was already up, so paying it settles the past as well as the future. On every plan.
✓
On Pro, Resid also searches the web for a property’s photographs and sorts every page: licensed, not yet licensed, or only the listing. A house that only looks like yours is never flagged.
A logged sighting on the Resid ledger: two emails sent, the client on the license page now, and the next move offered as a DM or a text.
Paste the link where you saw it. The price and the pitch come back ready to send.
05

Grow every shoot

Sell it before you shoot it, renew it before it lapses, and hand the work to an assistant.

Pre-shoot syndication

Sell the shoot before you shoot it

Best on new construction, where the developer, builder, architect and interior designer all had a hand. Invite them before the shoot. They split one fee, each pays a fraction of licensing alone, and you walk in already sold.

✓
The shoot is sold before you press the shutter. Each license is invoiced with the finished files.
✓
Works for photographs and film.
✓
On Pro, the invitation carries your studio’s brand.

The term ends, the renewal is ready
The second year of a license is the fee most photographers never collect. Thirty days before a term ends, and again at seven, Resid drafts the renewal offer at the same scope, priced from the original. It waits in your Outbox for one click, or switch on Auto renew reminders and it sends itself from your connected inbox.
Team seats

Hand the work to an assistant

On Pro, up to three assistants sign in to your account at no extra charge. They research, price and draft every email and follow-up. Sending stays with you, and so do your plan, your Stripe connection and your payouts.

Every draft waits in your Outbox, and goes out under your name when you send it.
