A prospectus for working photographers
Limelight is Cullibrate's partner programme: published numbers, attribution you can verify yourself, and your own choice of split on every seat you bring.
Cullibrate is built by one person, with the working photographers who use it. There's no growth team here and no ad budget worth naming — when this tool spreads, it spreads because a photographer told another photographer the culling is simply faster.
Limelight is that exchange made concrete, and made fair. You put Cullibrate in front of your audience; a fixed, published share of every seat you bring belongs to you. How much of that share reaches your audience as a discount — and how much you keep — is your call, not mine. The numbers live on this page and change only in writing.
Nothing below is marketing arithmetic. Every figure a partner sees is reconciled from provider-confirmed orders — if the payment provider didn't confirm it, it isn't in your ledger.
| Policy | Value | Plainly |
|---|---|---|
| Sticker price | USD $29 / yr | the founding price a seat sells for |
| Your pool | 40% — USD $11.60 | the share of each first-year seat that is yours |
| Discount cap | 25% — USD $7.25 | the most a promotion may take off; price integrity for all |
| Hold | 60 days | 60-day initial hold; later provider-confirmed refunds remain reversible |
| Payouts | monthly ≥ USD $25 | cleared balances pay each month; smaller roll on |
| Renewals | not commissioned | the pool applies to first-year seats, v1 |
These values are epoch № 1, effective 2026-08-01. Reductions require 30 days' written notice; an active promotion keeps the commercial epoch recorded when it was issued; earned payouts are never repriced.
The whole attribution story: if your referral is on the order, the sale is yours.
Photographers trade light all day — open up for one thing, stop down for another. The split works the same way: give part of your pool to your audience as a discount, or stop down and keep it. The seat's value never changes; only where its light falls.
Zero is the full-price economics baseline, not an issuable promotion. Promotions start at 0.01% and can rise to the published cap.

This programme is deliberately small: real photographers, published numbers, and a direct line to me. If Cullibrate has earned a mention to your audience, this is my way of making sure the light comes back to you.
