Your first gallery in five steps
Five steps. Do them in order and your client has their photos within the hour.
- Add your logo. Settings → Branding. It goes at the top of your portfolio homepage. Photo watermarks have their own image in Settings → Watermark. Your studio name and contact links are what appear at the bottom of every gallery.
- Create a gallery. Standalone gallery accepts a client or session name and an optional shoot date, for portraits, families, events or any other session. Choose Connected wedding to use an existing FOCL wedding. You can also connect or disconnect a wedding later in General settings. A gallery starts as a draft nobody else can open.
- Upload photos. Drop a folder anywhere on the gallery. Make sections as you go: Proofs, Favorites, Final images. Uploads keep going if you switch tabs.
- Set a cover and publish. Pick the cover photo, then press Publish. The gallery gets its link and goes live. Until then, only you can open it.
- Send it. Email the client straight from the gallery, or copy the link into your own message. They open it on any phone or laptop with nothing to install.
