The opportunity we saw in this industry
Three things we want gone: clients ghosted or scammed by studios. Freelancers underpaid and paid late. Studios that can't find a credible freelancer.
Studios
hire the best freelancers: verified, rated by other studios, at fair rates.
Freelancers
get paid on time, rated by studios, and rate them back.
Clients
book with confidence. Everything is written down, and every studio backs up your files after the event.
For clients
Book on the record.
One day that can't be reshot. Studios that never delivered got away with it because nobody could check. Here, you can.
A record you can read
Jobs done. What the crew says. Whether they pay on time. Read it before you pay a deposit.
Your files, safe in the cloud
Backed up within days of your event. Your project page says Done, or Not yet.
Fair rates
Nobody on a Tantos job is paid below the floor. A quote that's too cheap is a warning.
Approvals in writing
Approve your album on one link. Not on Messenger.
Studio not on Tantos? Ask them why. No account needed.
For studio owners
Your record is your marketing.
Clients are starting to ask “are you on Tantos?” Your page answers. Free tools make it true.
Know who you're booking
Jobs, ratings, no-shows, cancellations. Before you book.
Book at their rate
See who's free on your date and what they charge. Book them, or post the slot.
Post once, filled fast
Every eligible freelancer is alerted. First to claim gets it, on a written agreement.
Free to post
No platform fee. Pay your crew directly, to the account on the booking.
Your own page and a small CRM
Inquiries land in Tantos. Client, date, package, status, crew: one place.
Album approval by link
Upload the PDF. The client flips through and taps Approve.
Backups on the record
Back up every event within 3 days. The client sees Done or Not yet, never the files.
Watch
The backup, automated.
Raw photos to your Google Photos, video to your YouTube, and the record on the client's page. One app, one run, after every event.
See it
A flipbook, the way the client sees it.
The studio uploads the album PDF and sends one link. The client flips through it and taps Approve. This one is a real album, shared with the couple's permission.
