What ShutterShare is
ShutterShare is a hosted photography platform that combines a public portfolio website with private client gallery delivery. It is aimed at professional wedding, portrait, newborn, commercial, real estate, and event photographers.

Photographers can upload SVG watermarks and control placement, rotation, size, opacity, and color. Photos are converted to WebP and AVIF and served at optimized display sizes. Custom domains are supported, with DNS and automatic SSL setup handled by ShutterShare. Every plan includes a contact form, and users can edit page titles, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags. Starter costs $5 a month for 10 GB, Pro costs $10 a month for 25 GB, and Studio costs $20 a month with unlimited storage. All include unlimited public albums and private galleries.
