Our own product: a studio platform for working photographers - branded client galleries, proofing, bookings and payments in one app, on one bill, made in the UK.
Photographers stitch a business together from a gallery host, a separate booking tool, a contract app and a payment link - paying for each and reconciling between them. We built the one place that runs the lot, from the booking to the bank balance.
- Branded, mobile-first client galleries with live proofing - favourite-counting and a delivery layer with download expiry and recipient-activity tracking.
- An in-gallery print store with museum paper, mounts and UK lab fulfilment, so the gallery sells as well as delivers.
- Studio Manager: bookings, postcode-aware scheduling, contracts, invoicing and GBP-native payments on one timeline.
- Free forever on the first 3GB, then a single bill with no per-feature upsells, plus founder pricing for the first members.
An in-house product, live and taking sign-ups - a UK-built studio platform that takes a photographer from the booking to the bank balance without leaving the app.
