Other handy features include a workflow to create photographer contracts, add music to galleries, build mobile apps, invoices and more. Once you have your automation set up, you’ll effectively be able to make money while you sleep, and the best bit? ShootProof takes no commission from any of your sales. Setting up pricing is simple enough, and you can even set emails to be sent automatically to anyone who visits your galleries, notifying them of promotions, galleries expiring, etc.

You can set up various ‘Rules’ to govern how digital files can be downloaded, including resolution, watermarking, number of copies, print releases and various other options.Īs for making money via ShootProof, you can set up both downloads and physical sales, with the latter linking the gallery to a local lab so clients can place orders to be delivered directly to their home. The Lightroom plugin is especially useful, allowing you to upload photographs and keep everything in sync – any edits made to a photo in Lightroom will be synced to its ‘online copy’, even after it’s uploaded to a ShootProof gallery.

Getting photos into a gallery is simple, via the website, a desktop app, or even a Lightroom plugin. Everything is easy to navigate, both from the photographer’s perspective and the visitor or client’s. The photo galleries are beautifully designed, with several attractive, customisable templates to choose from. I use it in my wedding and family photography business each week to deliver photographs to clients, who usually comment on how enjoyable the viewing/sharing experience is. I’ve been using ShootProof for the past few years, and despite tough competition, I have no intention of switching to any of the other online galleries for photographers on this list.
