So you're a beginner wondering how to start out? Get started...


Apply & Start

DWF Pro

Only working photographers can try DWF Pro. So before the golden doors can open, we have to make sure you qualify too. Don't fret, it couldn't be easier!

We only need one of the following:

  • Portfolio website (web address) OR
  • Business tax ID number OR
  • Name of studio / photographer you work for

Got one of those handy? Then go ahead and get started.

Apply & Start

Why do we require proof of status?
1) So members are free to discuss sensitive subjects without clients or search engines looking in.
2) To provide a better experience than 'free for all' sites populated by beginners.
