📸 lenscapture Live · Self-host

Shoots, gear, client galleries, and contracts for freelance photographers

Shoots with clients + location + gear list + shot list. Upload proofs to a private client gallery (watermarked). Clients select favorites + buy prints. Gear inventory with maintenance schedule. Invoices with deposit + balance. Cheaper than Pixieset, more yours than Squarespace.

What it does

📷

Shoot planning

Each shoot: client, date, location, shot list, gear list, assistants. Contracts + model releases stored against the shoot. Go-bag checklist on shoot day.

🗂️

Client galleries

Upload proofs to a private per-client gallery. Watermarked low-res for selection, high-res delivered after payment. Client selects favorites + purchases prints via Stripe.

🖼️

Print sales

Per-print pricing (sizes, paper types, canvas wrap). Fulfillment via connected print lab or local. Shipping tracking + delivery confirmation. Gallery sales report per shoot.

📦

Gear inventory

Bodies, lenses, strobes, modifiers, tripods with serial + purchase date + insurance value. Maintenance schedule (sensor clean, calibration, filter replace). Lender tracking if you loan gear.

🧾

Contracts + invoices

Standard contracts with e-sign on booking. Deposit via Stripe. Balance due on delivery. Itemized invoice per shoot (session fee, prints, albums). Tax-year totals.

🔒

Photographer-owned

Flask + SQLAlchemy + S3 (or local disk). Your client list + image library stay on your infra. Not Pixieset's. Not Instagram's.
