A buyer looks for relevant category experience, production scale, consistency, and a point of view.
Patsy's role: Build sector-specific portfolio and case-study paths around work the photographer can substantiate.
Complex briefs, stakeholders, usage, and production
Present the work like a specialist and run the project like a production partner.
Commercial buyers need more than a portfolio. They need to know what the photographer understands, what production can be handled, how usage is approached, and whether a team can deliver under real constraints. Patsy can help shape that buying experience without pretending every job fits a package.
The client lifecycle
Every specialty creates a different kind of pressure.
These stages combine photographer-specific guidance with operating tools included in the Founding release. Specialty requirements beyond managed-site leads, open-slot appointments, private galleries, products, approved review requests, and shared-context support are called out honestly.
Scope, deliverables, locations, talent, schedule, approvals, usage, and budget may still be incomplete.
Patsy's role: Help structure the known parts of the brief, surface missing decisions, and draft a useful response.
Creative fees, crew, equipment, travel, post-production, expenses, and licensing must align with changing scope.
Patsy's role: Help align the client-facing explanation with the known project context while leaving commitments to the photographer.
Stakeholders, selects, retouching notes, versions, delivery, and future usage can create an unclear finish line.
Patsy's role: Provide private delivery and simple favorite-based selects, then help plan review and renewal conversations. Formal annotations, asset versioning, usage-rights tracking, and enterprise approvals are not included.
Recommended website
Pages should answer the decisions this client actually makes.
This is a strategic starting structure, not a required template. The Founding release turns an approved direction into a multi-section draft, revises it in ordinary language, and publishes the approved immutable version to a managed URL.
| Page | Its job |
|---|---|
| Home | State the photographer's commercial point of view and primary markets immediately. |
| Work by specialty | Let buyers find directly relevant campaigns without scrolling through unrelated genres. |
| Case studies | Show the brief, constraints, creative approach, production, and outcome when publication permission exists. |
| Capabilities | Clarify production scale, team, locations, motion, post-production, and other real services. |
| About and representation | Make location, availability, representation, and contact responsibilities clear. |
| Usage and process | Explain the studio's approach without publishing a one-size-fits-all legal promise. |
| Project brief | Collect objective, deliverables, schedule, stakeholders, usage, locations, and budget context. |
Workflow planning
The website earns more when the next steps make sense.
The Founding release includes leads, open-slot appointments, private galleries, favorites, controlled downloads, products, approved review requests, and Prodigi sandbox fulfillment. Production and provider costs are separate. Contracts, deposits, complex CRM automation, and specialty workflows not named in the release remain separate.

Specialty questions
What commercial photographers ask before trusting the system.
01Can Patsy calculate commercial usage fees?+
Patsy can help organize usage details and a photographer's own pricing logic, but she should not make unsupervised legal or pricing decisions for a commercial license.
02Can clients approve selects online?+
Clients can use a private gallery to choose favorites, which can support a simple select workflow. Free-form feedback, annotations, formal approval evidence, asset version control, and enterprise access roles are not included.
03Can I publish client names and project results?+
Only with the right permission. Patsy can help draft a case study from approved facts, but cannot infer publicity rights or invent outcomes.
