It’s good as extra photo shoots to calendar and it depends on your area and niche ### 5/5 — Great product *2024-03-15* I’ve used PhotoSesh many times. Photographers have always been very professional and have done a great job! I would recommend using them to anyone in need of a photographer! ### 5/5 — Love Photosesh *2023-02-19* Love this app! Such a great idea! Used it several times for work functions and everything was super smooth. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-02-16* Love this app. Have been booked multiple times without issue. Easy to use. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-02-15* Very functional and useful app. Would highly recommend if you want to supplement income doing something you enjoy. ### 5/5 — Extra income *2023-02-15* I first was a repeat PhotoSesh customer before signing up to become a photographer. Always thought the concept was so smart! I’m always the one taking photos and get asked especially at sports tournaments if I can photograph the games from other parents! While I haven’t booked a gig just yet since I am still figuring out my availability, though it was a pretty straight forward process. Yes, you need provide some personal information for payment but EBay, Poshmark, Mercari, etc. also will ask you for this information to report to IRS if you make over a certain amount. If you’re looking for a cash gig, then I would look elsewhere for business like FB or word of mouth referrals. Looking forward to making some extra money on the side doing something I love..photography! G ### 5/5 — Great App for photographer side hustles *2023-02-15* I love this application and the group at PhotoSesh has a lot of photographer opportunities to earn using this fantastic app. ### 5/5 — Growing *2023-02-15, version 2.0.0* We hear more and more photographers using the platform and the jobs are starting to increase in flow. Especially after you get your first job completed and get reviewed with a rating. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2023-02-15, version 2.0.0* This is a great way to land some extra gigs to fill holes in my schedule! It costs me nothing to sign up. Sharing my availability when I am traveling gets me some cool side work too! The app is super simple - by syncing my calendar the app detects openings in my schedule. The customers seem happy to have great prices and accessibility to photographers! So happy to be a photographer on photosesh! I love all the new features and improvements with each update! ### 2/5 — Not working well. *2019-07-14, version 1.6* Trying to go to the job I booked through this app literally right now but the start travel button isn’t working. Looks like I will have to cancel the job. This isn’t the first time it glitched either. I missed my first booking because the notification never showed up for it. And for this one the notification went to my email but not to my phone. So the notifications don’t work well either. This app is a nice idea but it needs more work. ### 2/5 — Started out well *2019-05-09, version 1.6* When I first signed up, the app worked and I was getting booked. Now the app is so buggy that I can’t update my profile in any way (info, portfolio, etc) without the app crashing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 0 Stars *2026-04-03, version 2.0.3* Did two photo sessions through app. Did not receive payment, getting back and forth from Shari A. Seshadri, Co-Founder & CRO. I would say this app is 100% a scam. ### 1/5 — Awful experience *2024-08-13* My God, I think this just might be the single worst user interface for any application I’ve ever seen in my entire life. It almost feels like this user interface was made in spite of the user. Between force and you to download two separate apps to use one service and this system saying your email isn’t registered, but you never received an email to registered the email.. etc just wow.. 0/10 don’t bother wasting your time **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I encourage you to just read the titles of the apps. Yes we have 2 apps. One says “PhotoSesh - Photographer Login.” That’s for photographers to access their account. The other one says “PhotoSesh - Find Photographers.” That’s for customers to find photographers. I guess you downloaded and signed up for the wrong one. I don’t know how else to help you. We do have some highlighted notes on the first screen making sure you are in the right app. You may have also overlooked that. We will try to revisit that to see if it’s not clear enough. Our photographer login app is admittedly no frills and is built just to setup a profile, accept or decline bookings and process your payments. We also have a VIP Dashboard for premium subscribers that grants you access to an entire library of marketing and AI tools to help grow your business. We made that UI/UX much more appealing because of the functions are more involved there. Hope you get to enjoy our platform just as 10,000+ other photographers have. ### 1/5 — No response after applying *2024-02-16* I am surprised to see that after more than a week of applying to become a photographer on their platform they have not gotten back to me, having send some sensitive information about myself. ### 1/5 — Concerning *2024-02-15* I downloaded the app and emailed in my personal information so they could run a background check and complete the 1099. It’s now been 10 days and I have emailed more than once for an update and I have heard NOTHING in return. Super sketchy. I need to figure out where to report them. **Developer response:** Hi Lauren, It looks like you are approved on our end. You should have received a note in the app saying you were conditionally approved. If and when a customer books you in order to receive payment you would have to make sure you are in good status with our payment process Stripe to disburse any funds due to you. So they have their own approval process. And other than that, you should be all set. We just completed a transition from our old payment processor Braintree over to a Stripe which is much more efficient. All info is securely stored with them and we don’t have access. Hope you get to re-rate us when you get to experience more of our platform. We can’t control if clients decide to book you or not. So we don’t charge any listing fees. Only a commission when you complete jobs. Sometimes we have nationwide shoots for multi location brands where we may send requests your way. Either way we hope you benefit from our platform in the future. - The PhotoSesh Team ### 1/5 — Not advocates for professionals *2023-07-12, version 2.0.0* Offered me a national campaign job for well known brand. $90…. 😂. Hacks!!!! ### 1/5 — The Worst *2023-07-07* If you’re a photographer run away FAST!!! There is no support when a customer backs out and leaves you hanging. They do not answer the phone because all agents are busy but they’re not too busy to craft an epic email turning everything into your fault when a customer cancels. I could see if they were posing a decent rate but for their bottom of the barrel pay I’d expect done kind of support. I’m not going to drag over 5k in lenses and bodies around for 80 bucks a shoot. **Developer response:** Hi Charles, We’re awfully sorry about the miscommunication. We believe the disconnect was when we asked you, “Please confirm ASAP and we will then confirm with the office and then connect you via email.” So after you confirmed with us we never received confirmation from the office location so couldn’t fully confirm the shoot for you. We were trying to mutually confirm to ensure the shoot is indeed happening and this was our miss. For regular bookings that are not part of the nationwide enterprise campaigns it’s much more simple because you get direct access to the customer and communicate with them right away. As for the enterprise multi location clients, we’re now also encouraging photographers and office managers to open the line of communication directly to reduce this issues. We’ve improved the process dramatically since then with more automation, and hope you understand the rare miscommunication here. We’ll do better. P.S. Glad you had a great experience with that other similar location. ### 1/5 — Highly Disappointed *2023-06-13* I received a job to do through this company. After completing the job I was not paid and they claim that the error was on stating that I entered payment information wrong, which was not true! I still haven’t been paid for the job that I’ve completed and it been almost a month at this point. They have stopped replying to my emails and no one answers the phone number that is on their site! If you’re a photographer DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE PAID! **Developer response:** Hi Danielle, I’m glad this ended up getting resolved. As we had a lot of back and forth advocating for you with our payment processor Braintree (a PayPal company). We only had the info they gave us and relayed to you everything that was received on their side. We’re also glad that we were able to pay you more than double the amount due in thanks to your helpful feedback. Also happy to report that we have moved on from Braintree. We're excited to announce that after seven years with Braintree (a PayPal company), we've began the transition to Stripe for payment processing. Braintree has recently become an absolute headache last year and it looks PayPal continues to downsize this division that handles marketplace payments. Another tell tale sign that they may not be applying as much of their resources to this department as they had in the past. Our switch to Stripe is set to enhance our experience, offering smoother transactions, much improved support, and efficient handling of domestic and international payments. So this is thanks to your valuable feedback along with our other photographers input. Thanks again! Hope you come back to re-rate our app soon! - The PhotoSesh Team ### 1/5 — Doesn’t pay on time *2022-03-08, version 1.9* While this app is a great idea, the people running it on the back end are unprofessional and don’t always pay on time. I’m still waiting on a payment after two weeks. Good luck! ### 1/5 — Meh.... *2019-04-13, version 1.6* Good idea, not very good execution. ### 1/5 — Another place to have your identity stolen *2019-04-07, version 1.6* This app asks for so much personal and financial information upfront. Legal address, last four of SS number & banking info. So it’s just another place to have your Identity stolen. Other places I’ve worked for that want to issue a 1099 don’t ask you for that much information, it’s just simply not that necessary to have all that info. If someone wants to gather information from you maybe you shouldn’t do it on an app and go through a third party background check company. One that will have a secure log in and/or encrypted website that is verified secure. Otherwise you’re just putting all your information up in the air for someone to snatch it. Aside from that, the app looks rinky-dink including the app graphic and some of the links provided to the “profile overview” email they first send you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great platform, connecting people with opportunities. *2024-04-03* I had joined the platform back quite a while back, and have to tell everyone how easy it is to meet photography clients. I had met so many people over the years using the platform, and felt so easy. The best part was that it took care of everything for me, including tax withholdings, scheduling, and holds a copy of my portfolio as well. The notifications for jobs even pop up on my Apple Watch, making it impossible to miss events! ### 5/5 — Slow start but now getting jobs *2024-03-26* I’ve been with this platform for years and finally starting to pick up some more job flow. Great work. Keep it up. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2024-03-21* I had an amazing experience with this company. Customer service is top notch! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent service. ### 5/5 — Nice way to make some extra money. *2024-03-20* Been working with them for awhile now and they are quick to get back to me. Good way to make some extra cash. ### 5/5 — Piece of Cake *2024-03-20* I started as a photographer with PhotoSesh last year. I have done some shoots at various US Cellular locations. The jobs are straightforward and the customers have been great to work with! ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2024-03-20* Of course they take a small fee, but you set your prices with that in mind and clients WILL bite. Jobs are sporadic. I have also booked clients through meeting people and networking on PhotoSesh gigs. Great opportunity to get your name out there and meet people/make connections. ### 5/5 — PhotoSesh for Professional Photographers *2024-03-20* I highly recommend PhotoSesh to any professional photographer looking to expand their client base. I have worked with PhotoSesh for more than a year now and their marketing efforts have produced a substantial amount of income for me. The online system they have in place is fast, reliable, and efficient. All photo assignments are with reputable clients, organized and dependable. If you are interested in supplementing your work load, give PhotoSesh a chance - it’s a great team of dedicated professionals who will support you every step of the way.

As a photographer, I’ve been able to expand on my passion and make beautiful images. It suits what I’m looking for, and working with them has been a breeze. I’m glad there’s PhotoSesh, I feel like it’s heaven-sent!! ### 5/5 — Easy App To Use. Good Company To Work With. *2024-03-20* I’m semi-retired and have found PhotoSesh to be a very professional and dependable company to work for. I can choose and decline jobs if driving distance or other factors make it less desirable to me. Or I can do the job and get extra income when times are slow. The work and the company suits my situation very well. Payment has been on time and I’ve had no difficulties. If I have a question the company representatives are quick to respond. ### 5/5 — Good side gig *2024-03-20* When I do get assignments, everything is great… good communication with the person scheduling you and the client. Times are flexible to fit my schedule, they provide a shot list of what they need you to photograph, and uploading your pics is quick and easy. I have been on this platform for a couple years and look forward to getting assignments. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
