About ShotBreak

I’ve watched good photographers break.

Years on flying dress shoots showed me where photographers break. Not at the shoot. After it.

How it started

The work was always beautiful. What came after it wasn’t.

  1. Hungary

    At 21 I ran a photo lab and camera shop. Film, prints, gear, and customers with real deadlines. That’s where I learned the work isn’t finished when the shutter closes.

  2. Korinnart

    In the US I started Korinnart, handmade flying dresses. For ten years I supplied them to photographers and stood beside them on set, at workshops from the desert to the coast.

  3. A friend’s wedding

    Then I photographed a friend’s wedding. The photos were lovely. Delivering them meant software that cost a fortune and a process that fought me at every step.

  4. ShotBreak

    So I built the part that happens after the shoot: the culling, the editing, the gallery, the invoice. That’s ShotBreak.

On set

One workshop, two dresses, and every photographer in the second frame shot them.

I spent a decade next to photographers like these. I know what their Sunday nights look like.

Why it’s called ShotBreak

Everyone misreads our name.They’re all right.

break/breɪk/verb, noun
  1. verb

    to fall apart under strain: Don’t break.

  2. noun

    a pause from work: Take a break.

  3. noun

    a sudden chance that changes everything: Get your break.

Shot, as in a photograph. Break, as in the big one. Most people read it as breaking, or as a pause. I’ve stopped correcting them, because all three are the job. I’ve watched good photographers break. I built ShotBreak so they could take a break, and still have something left when their break comes.
