Priced per event
Fokus sets the price for each event based on its type and location — a corporate team day and a destination wedding do not carry the same price. Setting rates centrally keeps event photography from being undercut into the ground.
Get paid for the events
you already shoot.
Fokus is the marketplace where independent photographers in the Philippines sell their event photos — weddings, concerts, corporate days, races. Upload in bulk, let people find themselves by face, and get paid every Friday.

What you keep on every photo
Fokus prices each event, takes a single commission, and pays you the rest. No monthly fee, no listing fee, no exclusivity clause.
Paid on every download
Single photo, bib pack, or full gallery — you earn on each transaction. Every sale, fee, and refund is itemised in your dashboard as it happens.
Sell anywhere else too
Fokus is non-exclusive. Keep selling the same photos on your own site, on Instagram, or direct to clients. We only take a cut of what sells here.
Example · a ₱150 photo
Photo price₱150.00
Commission (15%)−₱22.50
Fixed fee−₱4.00
You receive₱123.50
82.3% of the salePrices vary by event, so this is one example rather than a standard rate. The 15% + ₱4 commission is the same whatever the price.
You always know the number
There is one commission and one fixed fee. Everything else is included: hosting, watermarking, bib and face tagging, payment processing, and buyer support.
Refunds are reversed from your balance, never clawed back from money already paid out. The full audit trail stays in your dashboard, so tax season is a download rather than a reconstruction.
The studio you upload into
A production environment built around how working photographers actually shoot — from the venue car park to the edit the same night.
Bulk upload
Drag in hundreds of frames at once. Uploads run in parallel and retry themselves when the venue wifi drops, so you are not babysitting a progress bar.
Face and bib tagging
Every photo is tagged by facial signature on upload, and by bib number at races — so someone can find themselves in seconds instead of scrolling a thousand frames.
Watermarking and vault storage
Previews are watermarked the moment they land. The full-resolution original stays encrypted and is only released once a buyer has paid.
Event workspaces
Each event gets its own space, with its own collections, release dates, and access controls. Nothing bleeds between clients.
Live analytics
See which galleries are selling, which photos get viewed most, and where buyers stop — while the event is still fresh enough to act on it.
Collection contributors
Co-publish a collection with other photographers. Each contributor's sales are tracked and paid out separately on the same gallery.
Built for events across the Philippines
Fokus is a dedicated event photography marketplace for the Philippines. Galleries are built to put your work in front of the people most likely to buy it — the people in the photos, and the families who came to watch them.

Peso transfer to the PH bank or e-wallet you nominated, sent over InstaPay.
Questions photographers ask
If yours is not here, our partnerships team replies within one working day.
Email partnershipsNothing. Creating a studio, uploading, and publishing galleries is free. Fokus only earns when you earn — our commission is 15% + ₱4 fixed per sale. No monthly fees, no per-photo listing fees, no hidden processing charges.
You do. Always. Uploading to Fokus grants us a non-exclusive license to display and deliver your work to paying buyers — nothing more. You retain full ownership and can take your galleries down at any time.
Every preview is dynamically watermarked with a pattern that blends into the image and is extremely difficult to remove cleanly. The full-resolution, unwatermarked original is stored in an encrypted vault and only released to the buyer after a completed transaction.
Most photographers publish their first gallery within an hour of onboarding. We verify your identity and bank details during sign-up, then you can upload immediately. Your first sale is paid out on the Friday of the cycle it falls into — cycles close Tuesdays at 5:00 PM.
No. Fokus is non-exclusive. Sell the same photos on your own website, Instagram, or other platforms — we only take a cut on what sells here. Many of our top photographers run Fokus alongside their private client work.
We handle customer support, refund requests, and chargebacks. In the rare case a refund is issued, the corresponding amount is reversed from your balance — never clawed back from money already paid out. Full audit trail available in your dashboard.
Three ways. Selfie-based facial recognition that matches buyers to their photos automatically. Bib number search at races. And collection browsing by event, date, and location. Your SEO-optimised studio page also shows up in external search.
Fokus sets the price for each event, based on its type and location — a corporate team day and a destination wedding do not carry the same price. Setting rates centrally protects the market value of event photography in the Philippines and prevents the undercutting that hurts everyone. We review rates periodically with input from our partner photographers, and there are no listing fees either way.
