Software for running a photography business
4 min read
Galleries, contracts, payments and workflow — what the tools should actually do for you.
The pipeline is the business
Enquiries, quotes, contracts, shoots, edits, delivery — if the tool doesn't move work through those stages, it's a filing cabinet.
Photography-specific needs
Gallery proofing, print orders, usage licensing, editing status a client can see. Generic CRMs treat a wedding like a plumbing job.
Contracts and money
E-signed contracts with card deposits at booking. The gap between 'yes' and 'signed' is where bookings die.
Judge by one metric
Hours of admin per wedding. If it doesn't fall in month one, change tools.
