New Website – PhotoShelter Review
There are many options for photographers to display and sell their images online. In my case, I needed a multifunctional web presence that would allow me to archive, sell and exhibit my work as well as deliver hi res images to clients instantly. Another requirement was a website that provides the latest marketing and SEO tools. Good customer service was also a must. After researching the various providers and what they offered, I chose PhotoShelter as it matched my needs best.
Having joined with PhotoShelter I would have to say it is simple and quick to set up with easy to customize template themes. For those who want to take it a step further, manual customization is available.
Crucial to any photographer is the back up of images. The PhotoShelter image archive is excellent. It has the benefit of supporting raw and psd files as well as jpeg and tiff. I no longer have the worry of losing valuable images.
Customer service to date has been first class. The PhotoShelter staff have been professional and helpful.
PhotoShelter in partnership with GraphPaperPress allows integration of your WordPress blog with PhotoShelter. As you can see by the image above , I am in currently in the process of integrating the On Assignment WordPress theme offered by GraphPaperPress with my PhotoShelter site. Check back for updates as to how that goes!
Thank you for your good review of Photoshelter websites.
I am currently looking into ways of displaying and selling my images online.
If you have any more thoughts on Photoshelter, would be very pleased to hear.
Thank you,

Looks like your integration is proceeding quite well, not the easiest of tasks! Fantastic images, just first rate photography.
Hi Sean,
Thanks for dropping by. It has been a slow process but worthwhile.

Hi Albert,
Thanks for visiting. I will have another post up soon with my progress and thoughts.

Tanya,
I too just started looking for a pro hosting site. Photoshelter is the only one I’ve found that provides pricing guidelines, all the others seem to require the photographer to price everything him or herself. I don’t want to be bothered with that, and I’m new to photography as a business, so I’m curious to know how you feel about relying on the fotoQuote pricing guide.
Cheers,
Carl
Hi Carl,
Fotoquote is set at industry standard rates. This is really a baseline from which to work. The photographer can add a percentage mark up on any of the licensing types.
Cheers,
Tanya
Wow, beautiful images. This is the first time I have visited your website and I’m impressed.
Amazing work.. beautiful
