Photographer Portfolio and Client Delivery: Build Your Brand While Delivering Photos

Every time you deliver photos to a client, you have two choices: send a Google Drive link and be forgotten, or deliver through a branded gallery that reinforces your professional identity and generates future business. The delivery experience is part of your service — and it should work as hard as your photography does.

Why Delivery Presentation Matters

• First impressions last: A branded gallery says "professional." A Google Drive folder says "amateur."
• Brand reinforcement: Every time a client or guest visits the gallery, they see your logo and branding.
• Shareability: When clients share the gallery link, your branding travels with it.
• Perceived value: A beautiful gallery presentation justifies your pricing.
• Referral generation: Guests who experience your branded gallery become potential clients.

Building Your Branded Gallery

• Logo: Your photography business logo on every gallery page.
• Colors: Gallery theme matching your brand colors.
• Credit line: "Photographed by [Your Name]" visible on the gallery.
• Contact link: A "Book this photographer" or "Visit website" link in the gallery.
• Social links: Your Instagram and website linked from the gallery.

Client Delivery Workflow

During the event

1. Shoot with Kam-Sync for real-time preview delivery.
2. Client and guests see unedited previews during the event.
3. This creates immediate excitement and social sharing.

Post-event

1. Cull and edit your photos as usual.
2. Upload the edited gallery to the same Kamero event — it replaces or supplements the previews.
3. Send the client a notification: "Your edited gallery is ready."
4. The client shares the same link with guests — no confusion about multiple links.

Using Galleries as Portfolio Pieces

• With client permission, keep galleries accessible as portfolio samples.
• Link to your best galleries from your website's portfolio page.
• Potential clients can browse real event galleries — far more convincing than curated portfolio shots.
• AI face recognition lets potential clients experience the technology firsthand.

Upselling Through Delivery

• Photo sales: Enable Sell Photos so event guests can purchase individual photos.
• Print products: Offer prints, canvases, and albums through the gallery.
• Extended coverage: "Want more photos? Book me for your next event."
• Referral incentives: "Refer a friend and get a free print."

Client Experience Best Practices

• Deliver within your promised timeline — or earlier.
• Send a personal message with the gallery link, not just a bare URL.
• Include viewing instructions for less tech-savvy clients.
• Follow up a week later: "Have you had a chance to view your gallery?"
• Ask for a testimonial or Google review after delivery.

Google Drive vs Branded Gallery

• Branding: Google Drive has none. Branded gallery carries your identity.
• Face recognition: Google Drive requires manual searching. Kamero finds photos by selfie.
• Presentation: Google Drive is a file list. A gallery is a visual experience.
• Sharing: Google Drive links look generic. Gallery links look professional.
• Revenue: Google Drive cannot sell photos. Kamero can.
