Frequently asked questions

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, invoices and print orders.

Photographers who want to showcase their work, win bookings and sell galleries from one place — and clients who want to find, hire and receive photos from a photographer easily.

LensQuay is UK-built and hosted, with location search across UK areas, but photographers and clients anywhere can use it.

Deliver each shoot as a private gallery of watermarked proofs. Clients choose their favourites and pay for any extras, then you upload the edited finals and they download them in full resolution.

Yes. Set how many images are included in a gallery and a per-photo price for extras. Clients only pay for what they choose beyond the package, and the cost is calculated automatically.

Proofs are watermarked with a full-coverage mark that's hard to crop or remove. You can use your studio name, the LensQuay logo, or upload your own logo. Finished downloads are always delivered watermark-free after purchase.

Yes — enter your client's email and LensQuay sends them the gallery link (and PIN if you've set one). They're also saved to your client list automatically.

Yes. Every customer you share a gallery with or send a contract or invoice to is saved to your client list automatically. You can also add or import clients manually.

Pro+ photographers can send email campaigns — a promotion or update — to their whole client list, with a built-in unsubscribe link. There's no per-email fee.

Yes. Prints, canvases and albums can be offered alongside the digital gallery for extra revenue.

Payments are handled securely through Stripe. Money lands in your account and full-resolution downloads unlock automatically the moment a client pays.

Plans start at £6/month (or £130/year). Pro+ is £15/month and adds the Academy and email campaigns.

Search by postcode and how far you're willing to travel to see photographers who cover your area, then compare their portfolios and request a quote.

Post your event — date, location and budget — and photographers come to you with quotes and links to their work. Message them, compare, and book the one that fits.

Yes. Clients join free to post jobs, message photographers and buy their galleries.

Your photographer delivers a private online gallery. You choose your favourites, pay for any extras, and download the finished, full-resolution images to any device.

Preview images (proofs) are watermarked so you can choose your favourites safely. Once you've paid, you download the finished versions with no watermark.
