You love the shoot. ShotBreak takes the week after it: culling, editing, the gallery, the invoice.

The part you love. We take the rest.

Don’t break

Nobody breaks on the wedding day. You break at 2am, on the fourth hour of culling.

The shoot ends and the real week starts. Two thousand frames to sort. One look to match across all of them. A gallery to build, an invoice to send, an email asking for a discount. None of it is photography. All of it lands at night.

    Why this frame

    Eyes open and sharp. The best expression in a stack of four.

    Start from a shortlist.

    Similar frames are stacked, so you start from a shortlist. Open any pick to see why it was chosen: focus, eyes, expression. You review the picks and change any of them.

Client galleries

The gallery is the part they show everyone.

Pick one of twelve looks, from light and airy to dark and graphic. Your photos stay the loudest thing on the page. Every gallery is ready to send the moment you are, and it opens on any phone with no app and no account.

So the work that made you a photographer is the work you do.

Big breaks go to the photographers who still have something left when they arrive.

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.
