Is this paid work?
Briefs are an exchange: a stay at a boutique property for an agreed set of photos and video. Every brief shows the nights, the deliverables and the rights up front, so you can decide if it’s worth it before you apply. The work is scoped to the stay, and you keep your copyright and portfolio rights.
What does it cost?
Founding members don’t pay a fee to use the platform or apply to briefs. All creators cover their own travel expenses and anything not included in the brief.
Who keeps the rights?
The hotel gets usage rights by default, written into the brief before anyone books. You keep the copyright and can show the work in your portfolio. If a shoot needs different terms, they’re defined in the brief, so you’ll know before you apply.
Do I need a large following?
No. Seyba is built around the quality and fit of your work, not your follower count.
How are creators chosen?
Every application is reviewed by the hotel. Hotels choose from creators whose work fits the brief.
What’s expected during a stay?
Be a great guest, enjoy the experience, and make sure you hit all of the points on your brief.
When does it start?
We’re launching our first founding group in Costa Rica. Apply now to be considered for the first opportunities.
