Digital Photo Delivery
Digital photo delivery is how a photographer hands finished images to a client electronically — most often a branded online gallery shared by magic link, rather than emailing files or sending a download. The gallery becomes the place clients view, favourite, download, and buy prints.
Galleries vs file-sharing
The old way is a file dump — a Drive folder or WeTransfer link that expires, with no branding and nothing to buy. A client gallery is the modern alternative: a hosted, on-brand page where clients view every keeper, favourite their picks, and download in the resolution you allow. It looks like your studio, not a generic cloud folder.
How magic-link delivery works
Instead of accounts and passwords, the client gets a single private link — a magic link — by WhatsApp or email. One tap opens their gallery on any phone or laptop. Fotiqo sends that link automatically once a gallery is ready, so handoff is one action rather than zipping files, uploading, and chasing a download.
Delivery that also sells
Sending files ends the relationship; a gallery extends it. Because the same page that delivers photos can also offer downloads, prints, and products, delivery becomes a storefront. Favouriting and proofing tell you what clients love, and Fotiqo's follow-up automation can nudge gentle reminders — turning a one-time handoff into ongoing print and product sales.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the best way to deliver photos to a client?
- A branded online gallery shared by a private magic link is the standard. It keeps your branding, works on any device with no login, lets clients favourite and download, and adds print and product sales — advantages a plain file-transfer link or email attachment can't offer.
- How do clients receive their gallery link?
- Fotiqo delivers the gallery link by WhatsApp or email as a magic link — no account or password needed. The client taps it and lands straight in their gallery to view, favourite, and download photos, or buy prints and products.
- Is sending photos by WeTransfer or Google Drive enough?
- It delivers the files, but it stops there. There's no branding, links expire, and there's nothing to buy. A gallery delivers and sells in one place — clients view, favourite, download, and order prints, so a single handoff can keep generating revenue.
