TANTOSPhilippines · photo & video
Connecting Studio Owners and Freelancers transparently.
Fair rates, real ratings, guaranteed pay. Tantos is the marketplace where studios book photo and video shooters — and both sides know exactly what they're getting.
Launching first in Metro Manila and Cavite. Free to join.
The rule that started it
₱5,000
minimum per shooter, per gig.
Facebook groups are where the ₱3,500 gigs live — below what a professional should earn, and with no way to know who's reliable. Tantos sets a floor on rates and puts a rating on every name. The groups are free. So is this. The difference is that this one works for both sides.
For shooters
Get booked. Get paid. Get known.
₱5,000 floor
No gig on Tantos pays a shooter less than ₱5,000. Studios post at real rates or they don't post.
Paid after the job, guaranteed
The studio pays at booking. You get paid when the job is done — no chasing, no 'next week'.
Your reputation travels
Ratings and completed jobs live on one profile every studio can see. Prove yourself once.
One calendar
Mark your dates once. No more double-bookings across five group chats.
For studio owners
Book people you can trust, in minutes.
Know who you're booking
Every shooter's history — completed jobs, ratings, cancellations — before you book, not after.
Cancellation-proof
Backing out after accepting is the one thing that hurts a shooter's rating. Reliable people rise to the top.
Post once, filled fast
Set the role, date, rate and deliverables. Eligible shooters are alerted the moment it's posted; first to claim gets it.
One standard agreement
Rate, hours, deliverables and cancellation terms on every booking. No Messenger promises.
How it works
Four steps. No group chats.
- 1
Studio posts a gig
Role, date, location, rate (₱5,000 and up), what to deliver.
- 2
Shooters get the alert
Everyone eligible and available for that date, instantly.
- 3
First to claim gets it
The booking agreement is generated. The studio pays Tantos.
- 4
Shoot. Deliver. Get paid.
Payment released to the shooter after the job. Both sides rate each other.
Shooters pay a flat ₱200 per booking they accept — nothing to join, nothing per month. Posting is free for studios.
Waitlist
Be on Tantos before the first gig is posted.
We're opening to Metro Manila and Cavite first, with shooters and studios we can vouch for. Tell us who you are — we'll be in touch personally.
