Build your work with ICON.

Apply at shotxicon.com/apply with your identity basics, preferred markets, device details, and portfolio links. You can check a submitted application at shotxicon.com/apply-status.

The ICON team reviews your portfolio, market fit, and readiness. Approved applicants receive onboarding instructions, and marketplace access starts after setup and final review.

Yes. Enter your actual city and two-letter state code even if the city is not suggested. If you already submitted with a placeholder market, contact support and we can correct the application. ICON is currently focused on Toledo, Monroe, and Detroit, so approval in another market does not mean bookings are available there yet; we will notify you as expansion reaches your area.

No. ICON does not require you to form an LLC or another business entity. Photographers participate as individuals and independent contractors, not employees of ICON. ICON does not withhold payroll taxes, and photographers are responsible for their own federal, state, and local tax obligations. This is general platform information, not tax or legal advice; ask a qualified adviser what structure is right for you.

Set up Stripe Connect during onboarding. Eligible earnings from completed sessions are deposited according to the payout schedule shown in Dispatch.

Your application and onboarding instructions explain current camera and mobile-device requirements. Include accurate equipment details when you apply so the team can confirm compatibility.
