01The problem

You're a photographer, not a CRM operator, an accountant, an SEO expert and a website builder. But that's the job today.

A working photographer in India juggles WhatsApp leads, Google Sheets quotes, paper contracts, a freelancer's website that breaks every six months, separate invoicing, separate gallery sharing, separate client portals — and at the end of a wedding, sorts 1,200 photos by hand so guests can find themselves. Capturo Studio collapses that whole stack into one studio-grade workspace, with an AI-powered face-search gallery as the headline feature your clients will brag about.

02Inside Capturo Studio

Every module that ships. Minor to minor.

18 modules out of the box. No hidden tier gates on basic functionality. No half-built features waiting on a roadmap.

Public profile & marketplace listing

Every studio gets a hosted profile that ranks in city/category searches across 28+ Indian cities. Verified badge, ratings, portfolio carousel, services, pricing summary — fully indexed by Google.

  • Searchable by city + photography category (wedding, portrait, event, fashion, product…)
  • Verified badge after manual review
  • Reviews from real bookings, not strangers
  • Public booking CTA on every profile

Portfolio management

Categorised work showcases — wedding, portrait, fashion, product, event. Drag-and-drop reorder, hero image, multi-size delivery via S3 + CloudFront.

AI Smart Galleries with face search

Upload a 1,000-photo wedding gallery, share one link, and every guest finds their own photos by scanning their face. AWS Rekognition powers the face index — guests are matched in seconds, not days.

  • Face indexing per gallery (AWS Rekognition)
  • PIN-protected and QR-coded share links
  • Guests scan their face → instant match → download
  • Per-photo download analytics for the photographer
  • Logo watermark + gallery branding

Lead management

Every WhatsApp inquiry, contact-form submission, and booking-form lead lands in one inbox. Pipeline stages: new → contacted → quoted → converted → lost.

Client database

One record per couple, family, brand. Booking history, contract status, deliverable status, lifetime revenue — at a glance.

Bookings & availability

Public booking page with packages and a real availability calendar. Date blocks honour your existing shoots; double-booking is impossible.

  • Pre-defined package pricing (Half day, Full day, Wedding, Pre-wedding…)
  • Calendar block dates
  • Confirmation workflow: requested → confirmed → completed
  • Auto-create invoice + contract on confirmation

Digital contracts

Send a contract, collect a digital signature, store the signed PDF — all on the platform. No DocuSign, no paper, no chasing.

Quotes & invoicing

Build a quote, send a public link, client clicks 'Accept' → it converts to a booking + invoice. Razorpay UPI/cards on every invoice. Auto-status: unpaid → partial → paid.

Projects & deliverable approval

Each shoot is a project: tasks, deadlines, raw uploads, edited proofs, client-portal review, comments, sign-off. Photographer + editor + assistant on the same project.

Expense tracking

Eleven categories — camera, lens, travel, software, marketing, studio rent, drives, props… Net-profit and per-shoot ROI fall out of the data.

Finance dashboard & analytics

Revenue and expense trends, six-month rolling growth, monthly P&L. Filter by package, by month, by client.

Booking calendar view

Month view of every booking with status colour-coding. Click any date for the day's shoots.

Team management

Invite second shooters, editors, retouchers, assistants. Owner / admin / photographer roles with field-level permissions.

Client portal

Each client gets a passwordless portal: review deliverables, sign contracts, pay invoices, download finals. Token-based, no Capturo account needed.

Workflows & questionnaires

Custom intake forms for wedding briefs, location scouts, mood boards. Auto-fire on confirmed booking.

Lead-capture website widget

Drop one snippet on your existing website to capture inquiries straight into Capturo without a redirect.

Referral programme

Every photographer gets a referral link. When a referred photographer upgrades, you both get rewarded — built into the platform.

Two months Pro on signup

Every new account gets full Pro features for two months — no card required. Cancel anytime; downgrade gracefully if you don't upgrade.

03How it works

Day in the life. Step by step.

Real flows from real customers. Read the one closest to your role; the others give you a sense of how the whole platform fits together.

Wedding photographer

WhatsApp inquiry → final delivery

  1. 1WhatsApp inquiry from a bride lands as a Lead.
  2. 2You send a Quote (₹75,000 for two days) via public link.
  3. 3Bride clicks Accept → Booking auto-created → Contract auto-sent.
  4. 4Bride digitally signs → 30 % deposit invoice → Razorpay UPI link.
  5. 5Day of shoot: all team members see the project on their phones.
  6. 6Post-shoot: editor uploads proofs to the project; bride approves on the client portal.
  7. 7Final delivery: Smart Gallery link sent on WhatsApp; all 200 guests find their own photos.
  8. 8Final invoice auto-marks paid when the closing UPI hits.
Studio owner with a team

Coordinating a wedding with three shooters

  1. 1Owner creates the project; assigns Rohan (lead), Priya (editor), Akash (assistant).
  2. 2Each gets a phone notification with their tasks.
  3. 3Rohan uploads raw files to the project drive at end of day one.

Event guest

Smart Gallery face search

  1. 1Guest scans the QR card on the venue welcome desk.

  5. 5Photographer's analytics show 800 of 1,200 guests scanned, 92% downloaded.
Discovery client

From Google search to confirmed booking

  5. 5Photographer accepts → contract sent → deposit paid via Razorpay → done in 11 minutes from search to deposit.

04Why this and not the other one

What makes it different. Specifically.

AI face search nobody else has

AWS Rekognition-powered Smart Galleries. Indian wedding has 200 guests, you can't manually tag 1,200 photos. Capturo Studio matches faces in seconds. ShootDotEdit, Pixpa, Wix studios — none ship this.

Zero commission on bookings

100% of every payment is yours. Bezel takes 10–30%, marketplace platforms take 15–20%. Capturo is a SaaS subscription — no commission, ever.

All-in-one, not a stack of tools

Marketplace + CRM + invoicing + contracts + galleries + portal + expenses + payroll. Other photographers run six tools that don't talk; you run one that does.

Built for India

Razorpay UPI on every invoice, INR pricing, 28 Indian cities indexed, GST-ready. Picsart and Pixpa are US-centric and your clients will struggle with the payment.

Two months Pro free, no card

Generous trial because you can't fully evaluate a photography platform without uploading a real wedding gallery. No credit card on signup; no surprise charge on day 61 — you choose to upgrade.

05Built right

Engineering that earns. Audit-grade by default.

The boring parts done well — multi-tenancy, audit trail, compliance, real-time updates, secure storage. So the interesting parts can stay interesting.

AWS Rekognition face index

Each gallery gets its own face collection. 5,000 free face indexes per month from AWS; pay-as-you-grow above that. No infrastructure to run.

S3 + CloudFront delivery

Encrypted at rest, fast worldwide via CloudFront. Galleries that load instantly even on a phone outside the venue.

Realtime team updates

Socket.io pushes new bookings, gallery scans and team comments to every device in under a second.

Encrypted at the wire

AES-256-GCM in transit; rate-limited login (10 attempts / 15 min) and signups (5 / hour). Helmet-hardened headers.

Multi-tenant studios

Studios with multiple photographers run as organisations with role-based access. Solo photographer accounts upgrade to studios without a migration.

06Questions buyers actually ask

FAQ

Do my clients need to install anything to view the gallery?
No. The Smart Gallery opens in any phone browser. The face-search uses the camera the browser already has.
What happens to my photos if I cancel?
You can export every gallery, every contract and every invoice as a zip from your account before cancellation. We don't hold your work hostage.
Is there a commission on bookings?
No. Capturo Studio is a flat subscription. Bookings, invoicing and payments are 100% yours.
Does the public profile actually rank on Google?
Yes — every profile is server-rendered with proper structured data and per-city sitemaps. Verified studios rank on long-tail city + category queries within weeks.
Can I use my own domain for the public profile?
Custom domains are on the Studio plan. Smaller plans use a clean capturo.in/studio/<your-handle> URL.
How does AWS Rekognition pricing work?
AWS gives 5,000 face indexes free per month. Above that it's roughly $1 per 1,000 indexed faces. Most weddings stay inside the free tier; large events are pennies per guest.
Will guests see other guests' photos?
Only their own face matches. The gallery itself can be public, PIN-protected or share-link-only — your call per gallery.
Can I bring my existing client list?
Yes — CSV import is built in for clients, leads, and previous bookings.
