"LIFE SAVER"
5/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

PhotoShelter allows you to easily organize photos and then it is super easy to find them. With tags, folders and more, it has saved a ton of time when searching for photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I wish the photos would automatically organize in chronological order and alphabetical order. It would be nice to switch back and forth on the front of the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect for Upcoming Photogs/Art Enthusiasts"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I like the ability to archive photos in different albums, an unlimited storage of files, as well as the ability for photographers to showcase their beautiful work and attract new clientele and inquiries. This allows them to further establish and grow their photography business. It is also very convenient to be able to retrieve your photos all in one place, easily, on the go, through the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

I dislike the fact that there aren't many different templates to choose from when designing your personal website through their site. It can also be a bit time-consuming for a new-user to learn all of what this app has to offer, and to go through a tutorial learning how to use this application.

"Easy To Use, Well Designed and Full Featured Photographer Website/Portfolio Site"
5/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Fast uploads, easy to use admin interface, Lightroom plugin to upload photos directly to Photoshelter, tagging features and client download/purchase system, all well thought out and work extremely well. Actually, like most everything about the system. It has met my needs for a professional photography portfolio website as well as a method to distribute (and sell) digital photos to clients and of events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

More flexibility in designing my Photoshelter website, would like to add additional pages with free form design. Would like the ability to customize the site more, it's ok now, but more customization features and more website templates would be very helpful and welcome.

Web service is a slow process with uploads, reliant on upload speeds being high. Site builder templates are limited, no video. Only integration of Vimeo and Instagram for external video storage and playback. No Live Photos display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for a Novice"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Photoshelter provides simple website and photo storage solutions, and it's really easy to use off the bat. While people think that this is all that Photoshelter does, I think the best thing for me has been the free resources they provide. Even as a non-member, Photoshelter has great guides (e.g. - A Guide to Getting a Photo Rep) that photographers can access for no charge. In addition, they have a fantastic blog that in my opinion is one of the best resources out there for working photographers. I realize that these aren't the initial benefits you'd expect from a photo storage/site building platform, but for me these added perks were better than the main component offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhotoShelter for Photographers?

Though the storage is useful, I do think that other platforms fit my needs better as a photographer who doesn't really do many physical sales (like prints). I think that Photoshelter would benefit from being a bit more customizable. I'm very particular about my portfolio site, and I like to have control beyond what Photoshelter provides.
