A printed card can't show a photographer's work, and one left behind after a shoot rarely turns into a booking. A digital business card fixes both: it shows your portfolio and video, and it captures every enquiry instead of losing it. Use this checklist to set yours up properly.
Build the card
- A strong banner and profile photo. Add your photo and banner so the card looks like your studio's brand from the first tap.
- A showreel or highlight video. Add a YouTube video — a wedding highlight, a brand film or a portfolio walkthrough plays directly on your card.
- Portfolio and Instagram links. Button links to your website, Behance or Instagram grid keep your latest work one tap away. See links, videos and text.
- Packages or rates. Summarise your packages in a text section, or link out to a full price list.
- A booking or enquiry channel. A WhatsApp number or booking link, so a client can reach you the moment they decide.
Put it in the right order
In the Layout tab, move your portfolio link and booking channel above your social icons, so a client who is ready to book does not have to scroll past everything else first. See reorder and hide sections.
Share it at every touchpoint
- Shoots, exhibitions and pop-up stalls. Show your QR code on your phone or a printed sign.
- Client meetings. Tap an NFC card for a one-tap handover, no app needed.
- Email signatures and proposals. Add your card link so every quote or contract you send carries your current portfolio.
Keep a client shoot private if you need to
Not every gallery belongs on a public card. If you are sharing proofs or pricing with one client only, lock a Premium card with a six-digit access code instead of posting a public link. See privacy and access.
Capture every enquiry
On a Premium card, Exchange Contact lets a prospective client share their name and number directly from your card, landing in your lead inbox instead of a message you might lose. Export your leads into a spreadsheet to follow up after the shoot.
Keep the whole studio on brand
If you work with a team of photographers or videographers, create one shared theme so every card carries the same colours and fonts. Update it once and it updates across the whole studio. See more on the photographers and creatives page.
Before you go live
- Open your card on your phone and check every link, especially your booking channel.
- Play your showreel video to confirm it loads.
- Ask a colleague to scan your QR code or tap your NFC card.
Frequently asked questions
Can clients watch my showreel directly on my card?
Yes — add a YouTube link and it plays directly on your card, no separate app or download needed.
Can I keep one client's proofs or pricing private?
Yes. A Premium card can be locked with a six-digit access code, so only the people you share it with can open it.
