Ask HN: Which startups are providing services to professional photographers?
What are some startups/companies/side-projects that are serving the needs of professional photographers?
What are some of the top sites that professional photographers use to upload/show/share their photographs or build their portfolio?
and if you are a photographer are you happy with existing offerings or do you need a better solution?
- vhf 14y ago"serving the needs of pro photographers" is a little vague, but I'll try to answer anyway : Top¹ portfolio building/hosting/sharing : ProPhoto [1], 500px [2], behance.net [3] Printing+Selling services : bigcartel [10], platform-photo [11], prints995 [12], etsy [13], sssquare [14] [1] http://www.prophotoblogs.com/ http://www.prophotoblogs.com/ [2] http://500px.com http://500px.com [3] http://behance.net http://behance.net [10] http://bigcartel.com http://bigcartel.com [11] http://platform-photo.com http://platform-photo.com [12] http://prints995.com http://prints995.com [13] http://etsy.com http://etsy.com [14] http://sssquare.com/ http://sssquare.com/ ¹Top used, not "best services". I'm sure they are great, but I still prefer building my own private solution, let's say WordPress. ;)
- anujkk 14y agoHow do you use Wordpress for this? Do you use any particular theme that suits your requirement?
- rosstamicah 14y agoLook at the hundreds of WP photo themes on themeforest
- dear 14y agoI know professional photographers (and amateurs) use Fickr and Smugmug a lot to show their portfolios.
