Questions, answered

The quick version of how LensQuay works.

What is LensQuay?

LensQuay is an all-in-one platform for photographers. It combines a shareable portfolio, a jobs marketplace where clients post work, and client proofing galleries where customers choose and buy their photos — alongside a client list, email campaigns, contracts and invoices — with print sales coming soon.

How do photographers sell photos to clients online?

On LensQuay, photographers deliver each shoot as a private online gallery. Clients browse watermarked proofs, choose their favourites, pay for any extras, and download the finished, watermark-free images — all in one place.

Can clients choose their photos before they're edited?

Yes. LensQuay uses a two-step proofing workflow: clients pick their favourites from watermarked proofs first, then the photographer delivers the edited final images to download.

How do I find a photographer near me?

Search LensQuay by postcode and how far you're willing to travel to find photographers in your area, then compare portfolios and request a quote.

How much does LensQuay cost?

LensQuay is £6/month for photographers, with a Pro+ plan at £15/month that adds the Academy and email campaigns. Clients join free to post jobs and buy their galleries.
