Future Proof Photo Archive Access for Clients

Our global collection of images grows each and every day.

In the past we collected the best memories in lovely photo books and all the other images ended up in shoeboxes, in the attic. We now store our memories on drives, and each day we add more and more and it becomes harder to find that one photo you were looking for.

Since relocating to the U.S. I have produced close to two thousand photo sets for local, national and international clients. Tens of thousands of the photos can be found in my archives.

I believe that file organization and archiving is as important as the ‘taking’ part of pictures. In my workflow as a professional photographer I have spent a lot of time and energy in archiving the photo works I have produced, both for myself and for my clients.

Photoshelter is the my goto for online storage and distribution of my work and as I have done so for the past decade+ and I hope to continue to use their excellent service for years to come. While top notch in reliability, speed as well as excellent ease of use in file management for myself as well as clients is worth the investment.

To future proof my photography I introduce several new services to help maintain accessibility to the files in my archive.

File Research – My offline archive is meticulously organized, enabling me to fulfill image requests in as little as 15 minutes and for a low fee.

Legacy Archives – If I’ve photographed for you in the past, your images are safely archived. Photos from the past 12 months remain online at no charge. For older images, the “Online: Future Proof Archiving” option ensures continued accessibility.

Future Proof Archiving – I now offer a photo archiving add-on for new assignments, with options for offline and online storage:

Offline: Images are redundantly stored and can be accessed upon request.

Online: Access your “A Selects” and/or “B Selects” from any shoot anytime.

Print Services – Printing photos is the best way to preserve memories. My website offers print options through great print partners to many of the photosets. On check out use SUMMER24 for a 10% discount on your next order (with a minimum of $50)

All my new services and updated photo assignment fees for 2024/2025 are detailed in my Freelance Services & Fees card.

Pro Tips

Over the past decade, I’ve photographed nearly 2,000 assignments. Find them here.

Image sets are culled and include full metadata with labels: CAPTURE, SELECTS (A or B) and OUTPUTS to reflect their stage in the workflow.
