Coming soon - Early access

Simple proofing galleries for photographers who just need client selections.

Shutterproofs is a coming-soon proofing tool for sharing private galleries, helping clients narrow their choices, and collecting final selections without another expensive gallery subscription.

Built for working photographers, Shutterproofs focuses on the part of client galleries that often becomes messy: getting clear, confident image selections without chasing filenames across email, messages, screenshots, or spreadsheets.

Early access will focus on affordable proofing, smarter selection tools, annotations, and Lightroom publishing.

Proofing without the bloated gallery suite.

Many photographers do not need a large all-in-one gallery platform just to collect client selections. Shutterproofs is being built as a focused alternative: private proof galleries, clear client choice tools, and a final handoff that tells the photographer exactly what needs to be edited.

The first launch version should feel simple enough for everyday proofing but capable enough for real client decision-making. Clients can review images, narrow options, leave feedback, and submit a final selection in one place.

Differentiators

Built around better client decisions.

Most proofing workflows break down when clients like too many images, cannot remember which ones they preferred, or try to explain image-specific feedback in separate messages. Shutterproofs gives clients better tools to refine their choices before they submit.

Affordable proofing

A focused proofing workflow for photographers who want client selections without paying $15+ per month for a bulky gallery platform.

Private proof galleries

Create a clean private gallery, send the link to your client, and collect their choices in one polished place.

Stars, filters, notes, and shortlists

Give clients more than a like button, so they can move from "I like too many" to "these are the final edits."

Featured

Image annotations

Clients can mark up images directly to show retouching requests, crop concerns, preferred details, or specific changes.

Clear final handoff

Final selections, ratings, notes, and annotations stay together so the photographer knows exactly what to edit next.

Lightroom publishing

For Lightroom Classic users, Shutterproofs will support publishing proof galleries directly from Lightroom.

How it works

A simpler path from proof gallery to final picks.

Publish from Lightroom
01

Create a proof gallery

Upload or publish a set of proof images and prepare a private gallery for the client. For Lightroom Classic users, the goal is to support publishing directly from Lightroom.

Stars, notes, shortlist
02

Client reviews and refines

The client reviews the gallery using stars, favourites, notes, filtering, shortlists, and annotations to narrow down a large proof set.

Selection received
03

Receive the final selection

The client submits their final choices, and the photographer receives a clear handoff with ratings, notes, and image-specific annotations.
