A new chapter from BentBox · Established 2015
A portfolio
worth sharing.
Folio is a curated, share-anywhere showcase for BentBox creators. Editorial photography, professional portfolios, no age gate — with the full BentBox catalog one click away.
The problem · 01
The link you'd never
paste in your bio.
Adult content marketplaces have a sharing problem. The work belongs in front of the right audience — editors, casting directors, collaborators, your mother — but the front door wears a warning sign. Folio is the side entrance.
Friction at the front door
An age gate before a single photograph kills curiosity-driven discovery. Casual visitors don't get past the verification screen. Neither do your prospects.
A link you can't share
Instagram strips it. Pinterest blocks it. Press releases skip it. Some of your best work lives behind a URL that polite professional networks won't even render.
A tone mismatch
Editorial work, fashion shoots, fine-art nudes — not every BentBox portfolio belongs in the same context. Some work deserves a frame that matches its register.
“Folio is not a different platform.
It is the same work, on a different page,
for a different room.
Two surfaces, one platform · 02
The same account.
The same library. Two stages.
You don't choose between Folio and BentBox. Every BentBox creator gets a Folio page automatically — a curated subset of their work, on a clean URL, with the full catalog one click away for those who want it.

For photographers
Show your work
without apology.
Folio is the portfolio you put on your business card. The link in your Instagram bio. The URL you send to the editor at i-D, the casting director at the agency, the gallerist who asked to see more.
-
i.
A portfolio you control
Hand-pick which Boxes and images appear on your folio page. Editorial commissions, fashion work, beauty, fine-art nudes — choose the framing.
-
ii.
Designed for indexing
SEO-optimised, schema-marked, Google-indexable. Your folio page ranks for your name and your specialty — not for the marketplace.
-
iii.
A funnel, not a wall
Casual visitors see your folio. The serious ones click through to your full BentBox page and become buyers. Two-stage discovery, one clean URL.
-
iv.
Free for every creator
Included with your BentBox account. No additional setup, no separate billing. The folio page is generated and updated automatically as you publish SFW work.
For models
-
i.
A book that travels
Casting directors don't want to log in. They want a URL they can open in two seconds, scroll through, and screenshot. Folio is that URL.
-
ii.
Your boundaries, your page
You decide what appears on your folio. Editorial test shoots, fashion campaigns, lookbook work — your folio shows what you want shown, nothing else.
-
iii.
Discovery without exposure
Brands and agencies can find you through Google. They see your professional work first, in a context that matches what they're hiring for.
-
iv.
A platform built around creators
Every BentBox account — including every photographer you work with on Folio — is identity-verified through ProntoID before they can publish anything. And if a shoot calls for documentation (stock licensing, agency submission), the same release-management tools BentBox uses are available, optional, free.
Your professional
book, online.
A modelling book is a tool of the trade. Folio gives every BentBox model a polished, hand-curated digital book that lives at a stable URL — the kind agencies actually click on.
For brands & agencies
Discovery,
frictionless.
Casting from BentBox just got faster. Folio is a public-facing surface where you can browse photographers and models without an account, without verification, without negotiating an age gate before you've even seen the work.
-
i.
Browse without an account
No login, no signup, no email capture. Folio pages are public — bookmark, share, screenshot, present in pitch decks.
-
ii.
Curated, not fire-hosed
Folio shows the work creators have chosen for public-facing distribution — not their full output. What you see is what they're proud to be associated with.
-
iii.
Direct contact, when ready
Every folio page links to the creator's full BentBox profile, where licensing, custom commissions, and direct messaging are available.
Folio sells · not just shows
Every selling feature of BentBox,
on a different page.
Folio is not a marketing brochure. It is a working marketplace for SFW editorial work — built on the same infrastructure that has powered BentBox for ten years.
Boxes and Videos can be sold directly from your folio page. Same checkout, same payouts, same compliance.
-
i.
100% revenue retention
The same economics as BentBox. Creators keep 100% of the listed price; the buyer pays a small commission on top — never the creator.
-
ii.
One library, two storefronts
A Box flagged for Folio is sold on both surfaces. Buyers landing on folio see the SFW preview; buyers on BentBox see the full catalogue. Same product, same purchase, same delivery.
-
iii.
Monthly payouts, all channels
Bank transfer, Paxum, Yoursafe, PayPal where available, gift cards. The same threshold, the same calendar, the same dashboard. Folio sales appear alongside BentBox sales in your account.
-
iv.
Full creator tools, inherited
Promo codes, analytics, scheduled publishing, custom licenses, revenue sharing with models, gift-card payments — every feature available on BentBox is available on Folio. Nothing is forked, nothing is reduced.
-
v.
Releases & verification, on your terms
Folio inherits BentBox's full release-management infrastructure — ProntoRelease for model releases, ProntoTag for collaborator tagging, ProntoID for creator identity verification. Use it when you need it: for stock-licensing prep, for agencies that ask for documentation, for your own organisational records. None of it is required for Folio. Like Instagram, Behance, or any other photography platform, the responsibility for having the right to publish your work sits with you. We just give you the tools if you want them.
How it works · 07
From upload
to share.
Folio is automatic. Every Box and Video you publish on BentBox can be flagged as suitable for folio at the moment of upload. Once approved, it appears on your public folio page within minutes — with the full purchase flow already wired in.
Mark as folio-ready
When you upload a Box, Video, or Image, tick the ‘Folio’ box if the content is editorial and SFW. That's it.
BentBox confirms
Every Box on BentBox is reviewed by a human moderator. They confirm the folio flag at the same time — no extra step, no delay.
Live on your folio
Approved content appears on folio.bentbox.co/your-name within minutes, fully indexed and shareable.
Questions · 08
The fine
print.
Does Folio cost extra?
No. Folio is included with every BentBox account at no additional cost. You earn the same 100% on every sale, with the same payout terms. Folio is a marketing surface, not a separate product.
Does my Folio page replace my BentBox page?
Not at all. They are two pages with two URLs sharing one library. bentbox.co/your-name remains your full creator page on the marketplace; folio.bentbox.co/your-name is your curated public-facing storefront for SFW work. Both pages can sell — same checkout, same payouts, same dashboard. Sales from either surface land in the same account.
What counts as ‘SFW’ on Folio?
Editorial photography, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, glamour without explicit nudity, fine-art work that would pass a magazine newsstand. The reference point is what would be acceptable in a printed quarterly — not what would pass Instagram's algorithm. Every Folio submission is human-reviewed; if a piece doesn't meet the standard, it stays on BentBox and doesn't appear on Folio.
Can I have a Folio without selling on BentBox?
Folio is a feature of BentBox — you need a BentBox account to have a Folio page. But you don't have to actively sell. Some creators use BentBox primarily as a portfolio host, and that's a perfectly valid use of the platform.
Are model releases required for Folio?
No. Like Instagram, Behance, 500px, or any other photography platform, Folio does not require a model release for every person appearing in your work. The responsibility for having the right to publish your photographs sits with you, the creator. What we do offer — and most platforms don't — is full access to BentBox's release-management infrastructure (ProntoRelease, ProntoTag) if you want to use it. Photographers preparing work for stock licensing, agency submissions, or their own organisational records can collect, store, and verify releases through the same system that BentBox uses for adult content. Optional, free, and there if you need it.
What about creator identity verification?
Different topic. Every BentBox creator goes through ProntoID identity verification when they sign up — that's about who you are as a seller, not about who appears in your photographs. ProntoID protects payouts, prevents fraud, and ensures every account on the platform belongs to a real, verified person. It applies once, at account creation, and underpins both BentBox and Folio.
Do I need 2257 documentation for content I sell on Folio?
No. 2257 record-keeping under 18 U.S.C. § 2257 applies to sexually explicit content; because Folio is editorial and SFW by definition, that requirement does not apply to work sold there. Folio is a SFW photography platform, and like every other SFW photography platform, it operates under standard editorial publishing norms. If a Box later moves to BentBox-only with explicit content, full 2257 documentation kicks in at that point — including mandatory model releases for everyone depicted.
Can I unpublish from Folio without unpublishing from BentBox?
Yes. The Folio flag is independent. You can mark something as BentBox-only at any point, and it disappears from your Folio page within minutes. Your editorial control is total.
