Your work stays protected
Students browse watermarked previews. Full-resolution originals only unlock after payment is confirmed.
The simplest way to get session photos to your students. Upload the memory card, share your link — they find themselves with a selfie and pay you directly.
Built by two surf photographers for the surf schools and water photographers of the Indian coast. No monthly fees
How it works
We run the platform. You run the sessions.
Create your school or photographer account and pick your link.
Drop the whole memory card. We sort, index and watermark it.
Send your link to the batch, or pin it at the break.
Students unlock their photos. Your share settles to your bank.
Your link
Every school and photographer gets their own address on the platform, with your name, logo and colours. It’s the only way your students reach their photos.
Selfie matching
No more sorting a thousand frames into folders. On your link, a student drops a selfie and our face matching hands back only the frames they’re in.
Students browse watermarked previews. Full-resolution originals only unlock after payment is confirmed.
Students pay by UPI, card or netbanking through Cashfree. Easy Split sends your share straight to your registered bank account.
Upload studio
Upload whole memory cards from the browser. Thumbnails, face indexing and storage happen in the background.
Give photographers, instructors and admins their own logins, so the team can run uploads without sharing a password.
See what sold in every session, and what’s on its way to your bank.
Built for the coast
Whole memory cards straight from the browser.
Every face in every frame, indexed for selfie search.
Your name, logo and colours on your own page.
Previews stay watermarked until a pack is paid for.
Your share settles to your bank automatically.
Separate logins for every photographer and instructor.
Students get your original files, plus a one-ZIP download.
Students who lose the tab get their gallery back.
Selfies are matched in memory and never stored, unless a guest with no match asks for a hand search (kept 7 days).
“We’re two photographers who’ve spent years shooting surf across India at events, contests and our friends’ surf schools. Every shoot ended with evenings of sorting folders and sending photos one by one. So we built the platform we wanted, and opened it to every school and photographer on the coast.”
