What a river and heritage city orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their constraint |
|---|---|---|
| A business in the old centre | The window and the product | Busy pedestrian streets |
| An industrial company | The supervised visit | Site accreditation |
| A regional producer | The gesture and the origin | The production season |
What the old centre imposes on a shoot
Little room to step back and a lot of foot traffic. A wider lens and an early-morning slot deliver in thirty minutes what a midday session does not in two hours.
What to prepare with a producer
The vocabulary of the designation and what is protected. A mention of terroir or method is reproduced exactly as supplied, and confirmed by the producer before publication.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you declare your languages, you are visible by category and country, and the order keeps a record of the brief and the delivery. The brand pays at ordering, the funds are not released straight away, and payment goes out on approval. The platform retains 10% of the price on the creator side, who therefore keeps 90%, and charges the brand a 6% service fee, with a minimum of 1.50 EUR.
One last marker: here, what gets you called back is not your image, it is having got in nobody's way during the shoot.
