Built for photography studios and photographer networks
We run a photography business ourselves. We know the quote requests that go nowhere, the shoots assigned by text message and the galleries sent late. Here is what we build to fix that.
Jobs that assign themselves
Requests come in, the right photographer gets them, and the job moves to delivered. Tap a card.

We are not guessing about this industry
KLM Studio, part of KLM Group, has been booking event, corporate and automotive photography since 2019, including shoots for car dealerships. Today it works as a referral network: businesses request a shoot and a partner photographer does the work. Everything below comes from running that business, and the portal we built for it.
What slows a photography business down
- Corporate clients ask for a quote and you calculate it by hand every time
- Requests sit in the inbox while you check who is available
- Freelance photographers are booked through text messages
- Contracts and agreements are PDFs sent back and forth
- Clients ask where their photos are
- Your website looks good but does not rank for anything a business would search
What we build for studios
- A website that wins B2B work. Pages for the services businesses search for, such as headshots, events, real estate or vehicle photography, in the cities you cover
- Instant quotes. Hourly or package pricing shown on the spot, with travel and editing added by your rules
- Booking with deposit. The client picks a date, pays a deposit and the shoot is confirmed
- Photographer portal. Partners sign up, sign the agreement online, set their rate and availability, and receive jobs
- Automatic assignment. Jobs go to the right photographer by location, specialty and rate
- Client space. Each client sees their bookings, invoices and gallery links in one place
For one photographer or for a network
A solo photographer usually needs a fast site, good local SEO and a booking flow with deposits. A studio with several shooters needs scheduling and assignment. A referral network or agency needs the full platform: partner sign up, pricing per partner, commission tracking and protection against clients going around you.
Galleries
Gallery platforms like Pixieset, ShootProof and Pic-Time do delivery well, and we do not try to rebuild them. We connect them: the gallery link lives on the job in the portal, and the client finds it there.
Questions, answered
Can photographers set their own rates?
Yes. In the KLM Studio portal, each photographer has a rate and quotes are calculated from it automatically.
Can you help us rank for corporate photography searches?
Yes. Service pages per type of shoot and per city, written with real detail, are what tends to rank in this space.
Do you replace our gallery platform?
No. We link to it. Pixieset and similar tools are good at delivery.
