The world, in focus.
Every photographer starts here — learning to see. This story starts at 5 a.m., in the reeds.
Snap · for photographers
Your studio, in focus.
Snap runs the business of photography — booking, pipelines, vault-grade galleries, and payments that pay you, not us. One login, so you can stay behind the lens.

A long time ago in a studio far, far away….
Episode I
The Business of Light
It is a time of scattered software. Bookings live in one app, galleries in another, contracts in a third — and every sale pays a commission to a platform that never held a camera.
Working photographers, keepers of the last honest light, spend their nights on admin while their best frames sit undelivered….
Until now. One login runs the whole studio — booking, pipeline, vault-grade galleries, contracts, and payouts straight to your own Stripe. Zero commission. Forever.
Snap — the studio platform for photographers. This is where the story begins….

Chapter two
Then life gets loud.
Clients. Shoots. Edits. Invoices at midnight. The busy part nobody romanticizes — and the part Snap takes off your hands.
Then the phone rings — a wedding.

Chapter three
Two people say yes.
The dress at 7 a.m. The rings at noon. Twelve hours on your feet — flip through the day.
1,240 frames in. 87 keepers, culled on the train home.
Delivered that night — in a gallery their families open with an email code. Downloaded in full resolution, as much as they want.

Chapter four
Then there were three.
Maternity. Newborn. First year. The clients who rebook you every twelve months — now in one timeline, not twelve folders.
Twelve months. Twelve frames. One gallery that never expires.
The first year — month 01 to month 12
One day, she borrows a camera too.

The math
The stack tax, retired.
The typical studio pays for a CRM and a gallery app — and still hands over a commission on every print sale. Do the math once:
The old stack
- CRM — Dubsado, HoneyBook…$20–36/mo
- Galleries — Pixieset, Pic-Time…$20–42/mo
- E-sign, questionnaires, proofs$0–20/mo
- Commission on your salesup to 15%
$… /mo
Two logins. Two bills. Zero of it talking to each other.
One bill
With Snap
- CRM, pipeline, booking, questionnaires
- Vault-grade client galleries + RAW Vault
- Contracts, e-sign, invoices, reminders
- White-label: your brand, your domain
- 0% commission — payouts to your own Stripe
$0 /mo
One login. Every job. What clients pay you stays yours.
On a competitor's free tier, a $2,400 print sale keeps $360 for the platform. On Snap it keeps $2,400 — Stripe's fee, nothing else.
