About Paidang
Browse portfolios and starting prices, find the photographer, makeup artist, or videographer who fits you, and contact them directly.
What this is
Paidang is a directory of photographers, makeup artists and videographers. Each one has their own page: work, package starting prices, reviews, where they are based and what languages they speak. If they look right, you contact them directly.
How it works
- 01Browse portfolios and starting prices — no account needed.
- 02Fill in your plans — date, place, style — so the pro can quickly see what you need.
- 03Once you finish, you get their contact details and reach them directly.
What to check yourself
We only confirm the person is real and the work is theirs. The rest is for you to settle with them before you pay or meet — these are the ones that cost the most when they go wrong.
- Any licence, permit or insurance your local law requires — we don't check those.
- How much deposit, how it's paid, and when it can be cancelled or refunded.
- Where the shoot happens and how you'll meet — especially the first time.
- When the files arrive, in what format, and whether you can use them commercially.
What we don't do
- We currently charge no commission or booking fee — what you agree on is between you and them.
- We don't negotiate for you: starting prices are printed on every profile.
- No “platform-certified” ranking. Review confirms a person is real — it does not check licences or credentials, and does not guarantee they will deliver.
- City and profession listings are ordered by profile completeness and recent updates. That order is not a quality ranking or an official recommendation.
- Phone and WeChat never appear on public pages — you get them after you fill in your request.
About the Board
Anyone can boost a pro with money, and more money means a higher spot. Board positions are paid placement — not our selection, certification or recommendation. Ranking is decided by the total amount alone, and has nothing to do with quality of work, reviews or review status. Boosting only affects the Board: it does not affect marketplace search results, city or profession listings, or regular ordering.
Turning the Board off only hides the entry. What was already paid is neither cleared nor refunded — turn it back on and the same total still counts.
How reviews work
Every review comes with at least one photo that shows a person and relates to the service. The person submitting chooses whether each photo is public; private photos are used only for verification and kept for at most 30 days. Reviews marked “Evidence verified” have been spot-checked by our staff. Reviews pros add from past clients also need photos and the client’s consent, and always keep their original source label.
