THE WTAE CREATOR NETWORK
Your business.
Your choice.
Atlanta’s stage.
A managed work network for independent photographers who want clear event opportunities, professional operations, and no mystery about the assignment or the pay.
Review the event, call time, role, deliverables, rights, coverage requirement, and fee before you accept or decline.
THE RELATIONSHIP
Independent does not mean unsupported.
An offer is not a schedule. You can accept or decline based on the complete work order.
When you accept, you follow the agreed event standards and wear the WTAE field identifier for that assignment.
Check-in, upload, and human quality approval move the assignment toward payment. Incidents pause it for review.

Missing or expired coverage blocks the assignment automatically. An algorithm may flag readiness; an authorized person owns exceptions and adverse decisions.
INSURANCE, BUILT INTO READINESS
Two paths.
One hard gate.
Upload the coverage your business already has, or ask for a handoff to a licensed coverage partner. WTAE verifies status before every assignment and again against the event date.
Upload current coverage
Submit a certificate for private storage and human verification. Coverage must meet the specific event’s limits and remain valid through the event date.
Licensed partner handoff
Request a connection. The licensed provider—not WTAE—sets eligibility, policy terms, price, and issuance. No verified policy means no dispatch.
