What is CandidGO?
CandidGO is a free app that lets you sell photos on the spot. Photograph someone at a tourist landmark, on the street, or at a public event - then hand them a card with a short link. They visit the link on their own time, see their photo, and pay you directly. Every paid photo also sends 50% to charity. No email exchange, no social media, no contact info needed. Supports 48+ cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm.
Who is it for?
Street photographers who want to earn from their work while also raising money for charity. Tourist-spot photographers at landmarks, scenic viewpoints, and busy public destinations. Sports and event photographers covering local games, festivals, markets, and public gatherings. Anyone photographing people in public who wants to sell to the person they just photographed on the spot, without needing to exchange contact details.
How is it different from stock photo sites?
Stock photo sites like Shutterstock and Foap are for uploading photos and waiting for strangers to buy them. CandidGO is the opposite - you sell directly to the person you just photographed, face to face, in the moment.
How does CandidGO make money?
CandidGO is free to use - we only earn when you do. We keep 10% of each paid photo. If you referred the photographer who made the sale, we share half of that with you - so you earn 5% and CandidGO keeps 5%.
Available in 37 countries
Sell photos on the spot anywhere from New York to Tokyo. Recipients pay in their local currency - no conversion hassle for you or them.
