I got an invite; how do I log on?
You can now visit http://beta.zivity.com or http://www.zivity.com and find our login page.
Why do you ask for my credit card, even though you aren’t charging me?
Zivity doesn't store this credit card information. It is used to verify that all members on Zivity are warm blooded adults.
The photos should be uploaded by the photographer. We accept photography of women, including nude photography, that meets standards of tastefulness and does not include explicit nudity or sex acts. Zivity's mission is to let the model determine what best represents their beauty. Your photographs will be screened by our moderators, and not all of them may be accepted for the website.
How does your royalty sharing work?
Each month you get 5 votes that you can cast on your favorite photosets. These are dollar backed votes that get distributed to your favorite artist.
Can I contact somebody at Zivity?
Sure, please contact us at
Modeling for Zivity
- So, how does it work?
- How do I find a photographer?
- Do models make money here?
- What kind of models are we looking for?
- What kind of photos should I take?
- How do I submit photos to Zivity?
- When will my photos be published?
Your profile on Zivity is a portfolio of your work showcasing your beauty. You get to create your very own social magazine of your hottest images.
You and your favorite photographer get together and make a photo set – starring you! A photo set ranges from 15-35 photographs. In these photos, we want to see who YOU are and we want that personality of yours to shine. What the pictures look like and what you are wearing is entirely up to you! Tell a story, because the photograph, frame by frame, is your stage.
You may already have a photographer in mind. Your photographer will need to agree to Zivity’s terms.
If you don’t know any photographers and need help finding one, send us a note at and we’ll help you make introductions.
We distribute royalties to our artists through our dollar backed voting system. All of our paying subscribers get 5 votes a month to use on their favorite photo sets. They can even buy more if they want. The more votes you get, the more money you make. 80 cents of each vote is split between you and your photographer. Currently the default split is 60 cents for you and 20 cents for the photographer. There’s no limit to how many votes you can get.
What kind of models are we looking for?
We want our photo galleries to be as diverse as possible. As such, we encourage women of all sizes, races, ages, styles to participate. We want women who are proud of how they look and recognize that beauty comes in many different forms. Show us your favorite outfits, shoes, books and a little bit about you or who you imagine yourself to be.
What kind of photos should I take?
We want to see what makes you feel most beautiful. Do you have a favorite dress? Favorite chair? Do you feel most beautiful when you are glammed up or outside in natural light? Do you feel most beautiful stripped of all these things? Nude? Make sure to clearly define your comfort level when communicating your vision with your photographer.

After your photo shoot is complete, work with your photographer to determine which photographs you like. A photo set is a collection of 15-35 images with a common theme or story line. Your photographer will submit the photos to Zivity and you will have final sign off on any images that appear on Zivity. There’s paperwork though. In order to pay you, we’ll need a w9, a model release, and a proof of age photograph. All models on our site must be over 19 years of age.
When will my photos get published?
All photo sets must have signed paperwork (See "How do I submit photos to Zivity?") and will be screened by our moderators to see if they meet the content guidelines. If they are selected, we will communicate a time frame for your debut via email or we’ll message you on the site.

Thanks for your consideration! How do you become a photographer?
Thank you for considering becoming a Zivity photographer. We are eager to have your work promoted on our community-based showcase and for you and the models you photograph, to profit from your efforts.
Photographing with Zivity isn’t like working as a photographer for other sites or publications. We won’t tell you where to take the photographs, what style to use, what clothing (or lack of it) to use etc. But we do have several rules and requirements that concern the content we present and what we will accept. Most important of these is proper documentation (such as proof of age) and meeting our content guidelines.
Are you an established photographer? Please send us any portfolio information or online links to give us a sense of your style and past work. Email your information to . We can follow up with you regarding our documentation requirements, licensing and photoset guidelines.
What sort of photos should I take?
We encourage you to do things your own way or in ways that your model has suggested. There is no one style that works best. We accept photographs of women (including nudes) that promote their beauty, show them respect, and meet our standards of tastefulness. Zivity’s goal is promoting female beauty, to allow each woman to shine and be glamorous. Your photographs will be screened by our moderators, and if they do not fit our standards, may not be accepted for our website.
Any woman can be a Zivity model. Our goal is to promote and showcase female beauty. If you don’t already know women who would like to be photographed, ask around in your social circle. You’ll be surprised at how many women desire this experience.
Do photographers make money on Zivity?
Every Zivity member receives 5 votes per month with their subscription. They spend these votes on their favorite models and photographs as presented in photo sets, and every vote earns you money. Members can even buy extra votes!
How are you different than other photo sites?
Zivity wants to discover and reward top photographic talent and unique artistic vision. Photographing for Zivity doesn't require a specific photographic look and feel; instead, we're interested in building our content through our network. Let us bring your content to a community that will compensate you for your best work. Subscribers vote on their favorite photo sets, and every vote is money for you. Shooting with us means freedom to be creative and rewards that match your success with the market. Our licensing terms are generous too.
