Subject: Quick question regarding your team's headshots at [Company Name] Hi [First Name], I noticed your team at [Company Name] has been expanding recently — congratulations on the growth!

Here is how our remote session works: 1. Each team member takes 5 quick phone selfies following our lighting guide. 2. We generate 30+ tailored 4K studio portraits with professional 85mm lens depth, studio lighting, and tailored business attire. 3. Turnaround is under 24 hours at roughly 80% less cost than traditional on-site photographers ($89/person vs $450+ studio rates).

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about payments, commercial licensing, client delivery, and compute costs.
How do my clients pay me for photo sessions?
You collect 100% of client payments directly into your own bank account using your preferred payment processor (Stripe Payment Links, PayPal, QuickBooks, or Square). PhotoForge only charges for the compute credits used to render the photos—you keep all client service fees as pure profit.
Do I have full commercial rights to sell photos generated on PhotoForge?
Yes. All Pro, Studio, and credit pack tiers on PhotoForge grant unrestricted, worldwide commercial usage rights. You can freely resell deliverables to corporate clients, realtors, e-commerce brands, or list them as digital downloads on Stan Store and Etsy.
How does the unit economics compare to a traditional photography studio?
Traditional portrait photographers spend $2,000+ on studio rent, $5,000+ on camera gear, and 2–4 hours per client session. With PhotoForge, your compute cost per 30-headshot client gallery is ~$1.50, and generation takes under 3 minutes, giving you a 95%–98% profit margin with zero overhead.
How do I ensure facial consistency for corporate clients?
Our persistent identity and neural lighting architecture locks the client’s facial geometry across multiple studio angles, poses, and clothing outfits. Following our Client Photo Intake Guide guarantees clean, distortion-free 4K outputs.
Can I also earn money by referring other users to PhotoForge?
Yes. In addition to client service revenue, you can join the PhotoForge Partner Program to earn 30% recurring monthly cash commissions on every active Pro or Studio subscriber you introduce.
