SmallTown.Pics is a curated gallery of small-town American photography. We are looking for images that capture the places people remember — Main Streets, church steeples, barns, bridges, diners, courthouses, ball fields, storefronts, town greens, water towers, theaters, fairs, and the quiet details that make a place feel like home.

The best images do not need to be famous. They need to feel like somewhere.

Collect your earnings

Every time a print sells, you earn a royalty — no invoicing, no shipping, no customer service. We handle everything. You keep the copyright. You already did the hard part. Let photographs you took pay you again and again.

No membership fees, no listing fees, no platform charges. Your royalty is calculated on net revenue after printing and shipping costs and paid out monthly.

Standard Rate
40%
of net revenue

The standard photographer royalty rate once the introductory offer closes. Applies to photographers who join after the offer period ends.

Limited Introductory Offer — Join Now
50%
of net revenue, for life

Photographers who apply during our introductory period earn 50% of net revenue on every sale — permanently. This rate is locked in for life and will not change when the offer closes.

We will announce the closing date in advance. Photographers who apply before that date lock in 50% for life.

Net revenue is the retail sale price less actual printing cost, shipping cost, payment processing fees, taxes, and any refunds or chargebacks. Platform overhead, marketing, and customer service costs are not deducted. Payments are issued monthly. Minimum payment threshold: $25.

What We're Looking For

Photographs with a strong sense of place.

We are especially interested in small-town images featuring:

  • Main Streets and downtown blocks
  • Churches, steeples, barns, bridges, mills, and courthouses
  • Diners, theaters, storefronts, and signs
  • Little League fields, fairgrounds, schools, depots, and community spaces
  • Seasonal town scenes, parades, festivals, and quiet everyday moments
  • Rural roads, town greens, water towers, farms, and historic buildings
  • Other local landmarks that make a place feel like somewhere
