What ShotLocker is

A library, client galleries and a website in one place.

ShotLocker is a home for your photography. You upload your photos once, and from that one library you can search them, deliver them to clients, publish them on a website and sell them.

The four parts

PartWhat it does
LibraryWhere every photo lives. Upload, organize into folders and galleries, edit captions and keywords, search, and download originals.
ClientsInvite people to view specific galleries, collect their favorites and selections, and see what they downloaded.
WebsiteYour public site at yourname.shotlocker.app, or your own domain on paid plans. Galleries you publish appear here.
SalesSell downloads and prints from a gallery. Orders and payouts go through Stripe.

How the pieces relate

Everything starts in the library. A gallery is a folder you decide to share. Sharing it decides who can see it (anyone with the link, selected clients, anyone with a password, or nobody), what they can do (favorite, download, buy), and how it looks (a layout). Your website is the public front door that serves those galleries.
