The photographs and videos are contributed by various photographers and filmmakers. They get full credit, and links back to their YouTube channels, Instagram feeds and websites. Our goal is to increase their traffic and boost their SEO.

We don’t pay for any contributions. However, we provide a full credit and live links to the contributor’s YouTube channel, Instagram and website. We will promote ExploreDiscoverShoot, in effect, promoting the work of the contributors.

All videos and images are owned by their creators. ExploreDiscoverShoot has no claim to ownership of the materials in any way.

By uploading materials to the site, creators grant us permission to display the work and to use the work in the promotion of the site.

Owners retain all rights and copyright to their work and ExploreDiscoverShoot will not infringe upon these rights.

We will use images or screen shots from submissions and feature them in social media such as, but not limited to, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Links will go back to those works as featured on ExploreDiscoverShoot.

Allowing promotional use of contributors’ images will be a condition to be featured on the site.

If you are not comfortable with this, please do not submit materials.

We recommend that you first review the site to see if your videos or still photography would fit in. Please remember that our focus is landscapes and travel.

We are also looking for well-done product reviews or comparisons, as long as they are relevant to landscapes or travel.

By contrast, this site is NOT for portraits, food, interiors, cars, etc.

Please use our upload page to be part of ExploreDiscoverShoot.

ExploreDiscoverShoot assumes that you are hosting the video on a reliable service such as YouTube or Vimeo. We will link to that.

We prefer not to link to privately hosted videos because of reliability issues. It’s important that we provide a good viewing experience for visitors.

We will host them on ExploreDiscoverShoot. We ask you to upload a JPEG, optimized for screen resolution.

No. We review everything before we make it visible on the site. We look for an interesting variety in the work shown, to a reasonably high standard.

At times we will also have specific types of videos / images in mind to create a theme.

In some cases, it may take time before any given submission is visible on the site, depending on the number we’ve received.

Currently, we decide that. Should the site grow to where we need help, we’ll enlist additional site managers.

Our goal is to constantly update the site, with a few new features every week. Depending on the number of submissions, it may be more frequent.

Once the site gains suitable traffic, we will accept advertising.

ExploreDiscoverShoot was founded by Simon Burn and Andy Strote. When we’re not out exploring and shooting, we’re working with brands and travel/tourism organizations creating marketing strategies and compelling photography and video content. We’re based in Toronto, Canada, and Kent, UK.
