An online gallery for photographers: the client picks, you deliver the finals

Most photographers hand over photos however it falls out: a zipped email attachment, a WeTransfer link, a shared cloud folder. The files arrive — but that is where these tools stop. All the work of choosing then lands on the client and on you.

The client has to download the photos, browse them in a file explorer and write down the numbers they like. You receive that as messages like “I want 4, 19 and the one by the window" and guess which shot they mean. A dozen-email thread follows, and the decision still drags on for weeks.

On top of that there is security: by sending a pack of files you hand over full, unedited originals before the conversation about editing and payment has even started.

It is easy to confuse sending photos with a selection gallery, because at first glance they do the same thing — show the client photos. The difference is in the goal. File transfer (email, WeTransfer, cloud) answers “how do I move the photos to the client" and ends the moment they download. A selection gallery answers “how does the client tag what they want, and how do I receive that choice".

That seemingly small distinction changes everything in practice. With transfer, the file arrives, but the choice still has to be fished out of emails, calls and guesswork. With a gallery, the choice is the end product — you get a ready list of tagged photos, often with comments, without a single extra message.

So for choosing photos you need a tool built around the decision, not around moving files. The Pixchoose gallery does exactly that: it walks the client from “I viewed" to “I chose and confirmed", and hands you the result in a form you load straight into your workflow. The time that used to vanish into back-and-forth about numbers simply stops being needed.
