Models photographing themselves for a BentBox set

At a glance

What it costs
Nothing. A BentBox account is free, uploads are unlimited, and you receive 100% of the price you set on every sale. The commission is added on top and paid by the buyer.
How buyers pay
Buyers purchase individual Boxes with a credit card or with BentBucks, the BentBox credit system. No points systems, and no subscription needed to buy. If you also want recurring income, Clubs are subscription-based feeds you can open separately.
Working with a photographer
Revenue sharing lets a Box's earnings be split automatically between the people who made it, so a model and a photographer can publish one Box and both get paid from it.
Before you publish
Every BentBox creator completes identity verification, and a signed release is required for every person appearing in the content.

Most platforms ask a model to choose between control and reach. BentBox is built so you do not have to: you own the pricing, the licensing and the download rules, and your work still sits in a marketplace with buyers already in it.

Eight reasons models use BentBox

A free home for everything you shoot

Use BentBox as the permanent archive for all of your sets. It costs nothing to keep them there, and anything you publish can earn.

You control the terms

Choose the licence attached to each Box from the Creative Commons options, and decide whether buyers can download.

Split the money automatically

Revenue sharing divides a Box's earnings between collaborators at the point of sale, so nobody has to chase anybody.

Mix photos and video freely

Put stills and clips in the same Box, or publish individual Videos. The format is your call, not a platform rule.

Buying is one simple step

No tokens, no tiers, no membership required. A buyer picks a Box and pays for it with a card or with BentBucks.

You keep your asking price

Set $12 and you receive $12. The BentBox commission sits on top of your price and is paid by the buyer, not taken out of your earnings.

A page you would actually share

Your personal page is a clean shop front for your Boxes, Videos and Collections, at one link that works anywhere you post.

Support that replies

How it works, start to finish

You upload your photos or videos, group them into a Box, write a description, set a price and publish. The Box then appears on your personal page and in the marketplace, and buyers purchase it directly. That is the whole loop.

Two things happen before your first publication: you verify your identity, and you upload a signed release for everyone appearing in the content. Identity checks are run by ProntoID, an independent verification provider, and BentBox holds only the result of the check rather than your documents.

Payouts run monthly and can be sent by bank transfer, Paxum, Yoursafe, PayPal or gift card. How we pay you has the full detail, and your analytics page shows sales and payouts as they happen.

Frequently asked questions

No. A BentBox account is free, there is no limit on how much you upload, and there are no listing or monthly fees. The BentBox commission is added on top of your listed price and paid by the buyer, so you receive 100% of the price you set.

Yes. BentBox revenue sharing splits a Box's earnings automatically between the users named on it, so a model and a photographer can publish one Box together and each receive their share at the point of sale without invoicing each other.

Yes. Download control is a per-Box setting on BentBox, so you can allow or block downloads on each Box you publish. You also choose the licence attached to the Box from the available Creative Commons options.

Buyers pay for an individual Box with a credit card or with BentBucks, the BentBox credit system. A Box is always a single one-off purchase and no membership is needed to buy one. Creators who want recurring income can separately run a Club, which is a subscription-based feed.

You need a verified identity and a signed model release for every person appearing in the content. Identity verification is carried out by ProntoID, an independent verification provider, and the release must be in place before the content is published.

Put your sets somewhere that pays you
