Houses worth photographing, briefs worth answering
Shoot villas and hotels that need imagery, on briefs with the terms written before you pitch.
In one paragraph
Owners on Rouchelli ask for photography when the house needs it. Rouchelli writes a clear brief, sets the exchange (a stay, a fee, or both) and the usage rights, and opens it to photographers in the pool. You pitch; the owner picks.
Three things
- 01 of 03
Briefs, not vague requests
Every brief states the deliverables, the window, what you get and who may use the images.
- 02 of 03
Access you cannot arrange alone
Private villas, convents, estates: houses that do not take shoot requests from strangers.
- 03 of 03
Credit and reach
Work is credited on rouchelli.com and in the journal, with your handle attached.
The deal, in plain points
€97 a year, the same as every paying seat. Creators receive work here: briefs from owners, jobs from planners and agents.
What you give
- 01
€97 a year. No brief in twelve months and year two is free; or fourteen days, money back. Pitching is free.
- 02
Each brief states the exchange: a stay (barter), a fee, or both. You set your day rate in your profile.
- 03
You keep 100% of your fee. The owner pays Rouchelli 12% on top, at least €95; it never comes off your side.
- 04
Usage rights per brief: owner only, owner plus Rouchelli, or full. Never a blanket grab.
- 05
Credit on rouchelli.com and the journal wherever the work runs.
- 06
Deliverables as links (Drive, Dropbox, your own server); Rouchelli approves with the owner.
The terms
€97 a year. You keep 100% of every fee; the owner pays Rouchelli on top.
Every term, line by lineIs this you?
Interiors, architecture or hospitality are in your portfolio, not only weddings.
You can deliver a clean set within two weeks of a shoot.
You are open to a stay, a fee, or both, depending on the house.
You want credit and access more than you want volume.

- A wedding day, hired by a planner
The planner pays 8% service fee, at least €49
Not you.
In a year like this you pay Rouchelli €97 and keep €1,200. The owner pays €144 on top of your fee.
You keep 100% of every fee. The membership is the only thing you pay.
An example, not a quote: Rouchelli's percentages on amounts made up for the sum.
Few seats, earned levels
- 01 of 03
Seats are limited, per region and per role
When a region is full for your role, you join the waitlist and hear from the desk when a seat opens.
- 02 of 03
Partner, Pro, by invitation
Earned on jobs that ran through the portal: delivered, approved, reviewed. Ranked higher in the room; the first call for a brief that fits.
- 03 of 03
The guarantee
No brief or request for you within twelve months, and the second year is free. Or fourteen days to change your mind, and the membership is refunded.
One price while Rouchelli Partners is in beta: €97 a year for every paying seat. The room is still filling; the price is revisited when it is full, never after the work.

7 questions, one at a time. Nothing is sent until the end.
We ask only what we need to say yes or no. Your answers are read by Rouchelli alone; nothing is shared with owners or other partners until you are approved, and then only your profile: never your email or phone. Every contact runs through Rouchelli. Declined applications are deleted within 90 days.
