Sharing your photos with a client is the last stage of a photographer’s work process, and should be handled with the same finesse as the previous steps.
There are various ways photographers can share their final images with clients. From traditional to more modern methods, with professionals often choosing a combination based on the project, client preferences, and the overall experience they want to provide to the client.
Personalised USB drives
USB drives are very popular for photographers who want to deliver their final product on a physical device. Clients can easily plug it into their computers and access their images. Customised USB drives that match the style of the photographer or theme of the photoshoot can enhance the overall presentation and provide a unique experience.
Printed photo albums, prints or books
Online may be “taking over”, but many clients still want photo albums or framed photos. This is a great way to give clients a physical copy to keep or display. You can offer your client the option to order prints, canvasses, framed photos, or design and print photo albums or books – providing a tangible keepsake. It’s also a beautiful way to present a collection of images. (Printed copies tend to evoke an emotional connection compared to digital versions.)
Online photo book
An online photo book is a digital representation of a photo album, created and viewed on the internet. It allows photographers to compile and organise their photos into a cohesive and visually appealing layout. Online photobook platforms offer various templates, design tools, and customisation options, enabling users to arrange their photos in a creative and personalised manner. Once created, these digital photo books can be shared electronically with clients.
Special link
Online galleries are also a great way to share images with clients. A special link can be generated and sent, where these photo galleries on websites can be accessed. Overall, sending generated links to access photos after a shoot offers convenience, flexibility and a more efficient way to deliver and interact with photographic content in the digital age. Customers can access their images with ease, from anywhere.
Digital delivery
Another user-friendly way to share and store photos are online. Personal Cloud storage and file sharing platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox are password-protected/ private links to online storage, allowing clients to view and download as needed. Another online file-sharing platform that’s popular and allows users to easily send and receive digital files, is WeTransfer. It offers both free and premium paid versions, with various features and storage options. Users can upload their files to WeTransfer’s servers and then share a download link with recipients, making it a convenient and straightforward solution for sharing digital content.
The choice of method depends on the photographer’s style, the type of shoot, and the preferences of the client. Offering a variety of options caters to a diverse clientele and make the photo-sharing experience memorable.
