Show and Tour handles proofing and delivery well. But booking, scheduling, payments, AI editing, team management, and marketing are the other 90% of running a photography business. PhotoFounder covers the full workflow.
Proofing is table stakes. Here is what a complete platform gives you on top of delivery.
Let agents self-book shoots directly from your branded portal. No back-and-forth emails or phone tag.
HDR enhancement, sky replacement, and virtual staging built into your delivery workflow. Edit and deliver from one platform.
Assign shoots to contractors, manage availability, track payouts. Scale your team without spreadsheets.
Every studio gets its own database and media storage. Your data is never mixed with other photographers.
Everything you need to run your photography business — side by side.
