October 18th, 2022
Earlier this year, Zenfolio added full HD resolution video hosting to every service plan at no additional charge. Options to expand hosting are available to purchase, so photographers who regularly include videography don’t have to stress about getting low on space. Zenfolio video hosting is an easy and elegant way to upload, stream and share videos in client galleries.
Photographers are expanding services for clients and diversifying their income; video is a natural progression as part of the digital image landscape. Zenfolio gives photographers more features and options than any other photography business resource for incorporating video into their service offerings.
Don’t stand still…get moving with video.
Let’s face it…consumers are devouring video in many forms. From “How-To” videos on YouTube, to family events on Facebook, to entertaining clips on TikTok, video content flows throughout many parts of today’s culture.
Photographers at every level from hobbyist to pro are using video to expand services and meet client expectations. Now that digital cameras make it easy to shoot both still images and video, photographers can express their creativity in a new dimension and capitalize on video e-commerce.
Photography clients are coming to expect video as a service option and it makes the client gallery experience more engaging. Photographers are expanding their video strategy in specialized fields including Weddings, Sports, Events, Real Estate, Aerial, and more. Zenfolio photographers can rely on a single resource to manage both still and moving images with easy, seamless video hosting capabilities built into client galleries.
Some photographers offer video on their menu of services, while others use it as part of a still photo shoot by creating a “behind-the-scenes” video of the session or pulling together a video slideshow of photos. Business-savvy Photographers also use video to market their business on websites and social media.
