What's this "Verified Creator" badge I see on some photographer profiles?

It's Snaptide's way of marking profiles they've checked out and vouched for — a bit like a blue tick for photographers. Verified profiles can also show a "Featured by Snaptide" tag and a "Bookings Open" notice, which is nice social proof when a potential client stumbles onto your public profile from an album link. It's one of those small trust signals that matter when strangers are deciding whether to hand over their email address and send you a booking enquiry.
