Prompted contributor program

Your best frames, in every photographer's pocket. Pro for life.

Prompted is the posing app that filters poses by the light you're standing in. We're building the reference library from real sessions shot by working photographers. License 10 to 15 released frames and get Prompted Pro for life, credited by name in the app.

The offer in one line. Send 10 to 15 sharp, released, one-pose-per-frame photographs from couples, engagement, senior, family or maternity sessions. If we accept the set, you sign a non-exclusive license, we write the prompts, your name goes under every pose, and your Apple Account gets Prompted Pro for life.

What we're looking for.

Real light, real locations, real clients. The library exists to show a photographer what a pose looks like in the light they've got right now.

Couples & engagementOur most-browsed categories. Especially poses for people who have never been photographed together.
Senior sessionsSolo poses that hold up for teenagers who'd rather be anywhere else. Guardian releases required.
FamilyGroups of three to six, seated grandparents, toddlers on hips. Anything that solves a real arrangement problem.
MaternityLate-term poses that are comfortable and quick, standing and seated.
Real lightGolden hour, backlit, harsh overhead, overcast, open shade, window light. Tag it accurately; the app filters by it.
Real locationsBeach, forest, urban, field, studio, home, mountain. A parking garage in flat light is more useful than a rented villa.

  4. We curate and write the prompts.We pick the frames that fill gaps in the library and read clearly at phone size, then write the setup steps and three verbal prompts in the app's voice. Your notes on what you said to get the pose help a lot.

Questions, answered.

Do I keep copyright?

Yes. You keep the copyright and every other right in your photographs. You grant Cooper Industries a non-exclusive license to use accepted frames in the Prompted app and its marketing, and you can keep selling and licensing the same frames to anyone else.

Can I contribute if the models are minors?

Yes, with a model release signed by a parent or legal guardian for each minor. The release we provide has a guardian section. We never publish a minor's name, and senior sessions are one of the categories we most want.

What if a frame is declined?

Declined frames are deleted from our systems and are not covered by the license. A set of 10 to 15 accepted frames earns lifetime Pro; if fewer are accepted on a first pass, send more to reach the threshold.

How is credit shown?

Each pose detail screen in the app shows "Photo: your name" under the reference image. You choose the name, personal or business, and you see the credit line before anything is published. Marketing uses credit you where practical; a Pinterest pin or App Store screenshot may not always have room.

Can I change my mind later?

Uses already published stay published, in the app versions and posts that are already out. You can ask us in writing to stop new publication of a frame and we will pull it from future catalog updates and new marketing within 30 days. Lifetime Pro already granted is yours.

Do I need to write the prompts?

No. Every pose in Prompted gets setup steps and three verbal prompts written by us, in a consistent voice. Tell us what you said to get the pose and we'll work from that.
