How your work looks once it lives here.

Plain language, no fine print.
You own your photos.
Uploading here gives us a non-exclusive license to display the photo on the site. That is it. You keep all rights, you can post the same shots anywhere else (Instagram, your portfolio, prints, clients), and you can ask us to take any photo down at any time.
How credit works.
Your name appears on every photo you upload. If your contributor profile has a portfolio or Instagram URL on it, your credit on the site renders as a clickable link back to that URL. Email photos@rollingseries.com with your portfolio or Instagram link and we will attach it to your contributor credit.
About watermarks.
Allowed, but discouraged. We credit prominently so you do not need to. A heavy watermark works against you here because it makes the photo less useful to the people viewing it, and your name is already attached.
About AI captions.
AI runs only when alt text or caption is missing and only when you have not ticked the opt-out box on the upload form. A human moderator reviews any AI-generated text before the photo goes public. You can override the alt text and caption anytime from your "My Contributions" page.
Taking photos down.
Email photos@rollingseries.com with what you want removed. We act on takedown requests promptly and without argument. This applies to your own work, to a single photo, or to everything you have ever uploaded here.
About people in the photos.
Car events are public, and photos taken at them are normal documentary photography. Anyone identifiable in a photo who would prefer not to be on the site can write to photos@rollingseries.com and we will remove the photo. No reason needed.
What the AI actually does.
A human moderator reviews every AI-generated caption before any photo goes public. AI only runs when both alt text and caption are blank and you have not ticked the opt-out box on the upload form.
When AI does run, it makes one pass: a plain-language description for accessibility, and a short label like "Make Model, Angle". The moderator reads that draft before anything goes live.
If you would rather skip AI on a particular upload, tick the "Skip AI captioning" box on the upload form. The photo waits in the moderation queue until a human writes alt text and a caption for it.
You can rewrite alt text or captions at any time from your "My Contributions" page while a photo is still pending. Once a photo is live, send us a note and we will update it.

Got shots from a meet last weekend? Drop them in. Takes a few minutes.
Upload to an upcoming eventWant to cover a series regularly?
If you shoot the same meet every month, get in touch. We will coordinate so your work is the default coverage for that series.
Request to cover a seriesCommon questions.
Do I need an account?
Yes. A free account is what attaches credit to every photo you upload and lets you edit alt text or request a takedown later. Signup takes about a minute.
Can I delete my photos later?
Yes. Email photos@rollingseries.com and we will remove a single photo, a batch, or everything you have uploaded. No questions asked. This holds whether the photos are pending or already live.
What happens if AI gets the caption wrong?
A moderator reads every AI-generated caption before the photo goes live, so glaring errors get caught up front. If something slips through or you spot a wrong make or model later, send us a note and we will fix it. You can also edit pending uploads yourself from "My Contributions".
Can I post the same photos somewhere else?
Yes. The license you give us is non-exclusive. Post the same shots on Instagram, on your own portfolio, in print, anywhere. We do not take any rights away from you.
How is my name credited?
Your display name shows up next to every photo. If your profile has a portfolio or Instagram URL on it, the credit becomes a link back to that URL. Send us your link and we will attach it to your profile.
Do you allow watermarks?
Allowed, not encouraged. Your name and link already ride along with every photo, so a heavy watermark mostly costs you readability without buying you protection. A subtle corner mark is fine if you prefer it.
