Features
Read full description

ShutterID is the private way to receive photos from your photographer — and a beautiful way for photographers to share their portfolio. No public galleries, no accounts you don't want. Your photographer sends you a private link — you open it and the photos are there, full quality, on a screen designed for viewing them. FOR CLIENTS • Open a library with a single private link — no sign-up required • Browse albums and galleries in a clean, distraction-free viewer • Pick your favorites and approve the shots you want — your photographer sees your choices instantly • Leave comments right on a photo • Save photos straight to your Photos library • Sign in with Apple to keep all your libraries in one place and pick up where you left off • Get a push notification when new photos arrive FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS • Share your portfolio the way it deserves: a curated library behind one elegant link — send it to a client, a magazine or an agency and they see your work in full quality, with your branding, not an ad-covered feed • Sign in to your Studio account and see your libraries on the go • Follow activity live: reactions, comments and approvals as they happen • Manage access links — share, block or revoke them from your phone • Get notified the moment a client responds PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photos are shared only with the people the photographer chooses. No ads, no tracking, no selling data — just photographs, delivered. ShutterID works with the photographer's ShutterID Studio and Adobe Lightroom Classic workflow. If you received a link, you already have everything you need.
