When starting a photography business, you would need more than just a camera and a nice lens. Don't get me wrong, those two things are great, but you will not go far with your business. I would like to share with you my top 5 websites that I use on a daily basis for my photography business. Let's get started!
1.Pixieset
- this software is user friendly and well-rounded, I use it to host my website, deliver client galleries and book sessions.
2.Lightroom / photoshoP
- these two will be your BEST-FRIEND. I use them to edit all my images. I use Lightroom majority of the time because it is faster to upload and edit a batch of images at once. I use Photoshop for intense edits that Lightroom isn't capable of doing seemly.
3.Honeybook
- a CRM (customer relationship management) software that manages all of my client interactions from automated emails, contracts, invoices, and it also integrates with other softwares like Quickbooks and Google.
4.Canva
- this user-friendly software is for designing graphics, logos, clients guides and resources plus more. You can also create a brand kit that will be applied to all of your graphics to keep everything consistent.
5.Aftershoot
- an AI-culling program cuts down the culling process to few minutes, and also upload images to Lightroom.
These are my OG's but there are a lot more websites/softwares out there that are similar to what I use. My advice is to do what fits your business needs and budget.
