AI Photo Contributor at Mercor

AI Photo Contributor | $20/hr | Remote (US Only)

Submit photos of yourself to help improve cutting-edge visual AI systems. Selected contributors will be compensated and contacted with a formal licensing agreement. This is a flexible, one-time submission opportunity open to US residents (excluding CA, IL, TX, and WA).

About the Opportunity

We are collecting photo submissions to support the development and evaluation of visual AI systems. You will submit photos upfront for review and sampling purposes. If your photos are selected, we will reach out with a separate licensing agreement detailing usage terms and compensation. Your photos will not be used in any product, dataset, or external context unless you sign that agreement. If not selected, all submitted photos will be permanently deleted.

Photo Requirements

We're looking for approximately 20 or more photos per person, with strong variety across the following dimensions:

• Appearance Variety (Most Important): Photos spanning different time periods showing changes in your look — varied outfits, hairstyles, makeup, facial hair, and accessories.
• Angles & Framing: Different distances, focal lengths, and body orientations (e.g., full portrait, three-quarter, close-up).
• Photo Quality: All images must be clear, in focus, and high resolution. No blurry, low-res, or heavily filtered photos. You must be the only clearly identifiable person in each photo.
• Authenticity Required: No AI-generated, digitally altered, or composite images. Selfies, candid shots, and professional photos are all welcome.

Eligibility

• Open to US residents only
• Excludes residents of California, Illinois, Texas, and Washington
• Not open to EU or UK residents
• All qualified applicants are considered without regard to legally protected characteristics
• Reasonable accommodations available upon request
