"Your photos, highlighted and accessible."
4/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Photoshelter is really easy to handle.

His main functions are the storage of photos and websites but it does not stop there, on the contrary. Many resources such as guides are available to help both novices and amateurs learn. The user interface of it is very orderly, to find our photos in the blink of an eye with tags and folders. Allowing huge time savings! It's also very rewarding to be able to find all your photos in one place and to access them everywhere (IOS and Android compatibility). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Photoshelter unfortunately does not allow the addition of videos and takes a monstrous time to upload the images. Photoshelter is also quite expensive for non-professional photographers, adding more specific payment plans could solve this problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly and consistent online library for files"
4/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I like that all marketing files (images, pamphlets and brochures) are cataloged in this program. Files are easily accessible, searchable and downloadable. Out large company with many locations throughout the US and Canada can have uniformity in our marketing and other files/materials. The files in the library cannot be altered, unlike a messy Google Drive or shared Google Docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I can never remember my password, and resetting it takes a long time. This hassle causes me to not log in and access material as often as I should, which may make it a bit if a wasted asset and effort on the part of our Marketing Dept. For me as an office manager and not in marketing/graphic design, the amount and types of downloading options can be overwhelming. But better too much than too little.

"As good for novices as for amateurs."
3.5/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Photoshelter is very simple to use right from the start. Even though one of its main functions is the storage of photos and websites, it doesn't stop there! Photoshelter provides all members with free guides and webinars to help us get started in sales, where we don't always succeed on our own. Another feature that keeps me using Photoshelter is the live update of the work done on my site. The interface is more than perfect; it's easy to find archived photos, and there are also many photo editing functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Photoshelter does not allow the addition of videos, and uploading images is really very slow, just like the preview, which is quite sluggish. Also, in terms of sales for customers, press, or others, there is interest only if your work appeals to American customers because Photoshelter is mainly used by customers and photographers from the United States.

"Good for Photo and Video Storage"
3/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I like PhotoShelter because it provides a good platform to upload and store all your photos and videos while also allowing easy access to them. You can easily arrange your photos and videos in different organization methods to help find them more easily. PhotoShelter allows you to upload a very large amount of files you you will have a lot of space to store stuff. The customization of the layout also makes it really easy to find things fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I do not like how it can take a long time to upload multiple files at once. I also do not like how the preview of the file takes a long time to load. PhotoShelter is also very expensive for what it does. It is a file storage aimed towards images and videos. The customization and ease of use is nice but the price gets in the way.

"One of the best photography website builder platforms"
4/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

In addition to many advanced tools that cater to professional photographers, PhotoShelter provides valuable information to those who work in photograph-related ares. There are a lot of helpful materials, including market research, free photography guides, and some of interviews that let its users get insight from successful professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

A bit more expensive than some of the other options. Compared to some of other similar photography website builders in the industry, such as SmugMug, PhotoShelter's pricing plan are a bit on the expensive side. If you are looking for less-pricey service for non-professional users, PhotoShelter may not be your perfect choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
