For photographers

Get more photography clients on the strength of your last shoot

Every wedding and newborn session ends with a delighted client. Give that praise a permanent home with your name on it instead of a comment that scrolls away.

The reviews you earn go to the venue or the studio

You shoot a wedding, deliver a gallery the couple cries over, and the review goes to the venue's page, the planner's page, or a comment under a photo that disappears in a week. The next couple searching for a photographer never sees it.

If you shoot as a second or an associate for a studio, it is worse: the five stars belong to the studio brand, and going out on your own means starting from an empty profile.

The gap: a business rating answers “is this place any good?”. It never answers “is this photographer any good?” — which is the only question your next client is actually asking.

What changes when the reputation is yours

  • Verified reviews from named clients, attached to your handle
  • Your work and your reviews in one link you can send with a gallery
  • Enquiries that come to you, not to the studio you shot for
  • Session types listed the way clients actually search

How it works

  1. Claim your @handle

    One free profile in your name, marked as a photographer, with your services and area.

  2. Ask after each appointment

    Share one link or QR code while the client is still happy. It takes them under a minute.

  3. Share the proof

    Send your profile to referrals, print the QR, and let verified reviews do the convincing.

What a strong photographer profile shows

  • Session types and typical price range (weddings, newborn, branding, events)
  • Photos you own, not the venue's or studio's feed
  • Verified reviews from clients you personally shot
  • One enquiry or booking link for the current season

What clients say when the review has your name on it

Example reviews showing how clients talk about a photographer once the feedback lives on the photographer's profile instead of the venue or the studio's page.

  • “I picked this photographer over three others because I could read real client reviews next to the work.”

    Repeat client

  • “Left a review the day my photos landed. It's attached to the photographer, not the venue or the studio.”

  • “Sent the profile link to two friends who booked the same month. Much easier than screenshotting posts.”

Does this compete with Google reviews?

No, and it should not. Google reviews belong to the business and help it get found — keep asking for them. Kleos records the part Google cannot: which photographer did the work. The same client can review the venue or the studio on Google and review you on Kleos in the same minute.

If you want the Google side sharper too, our how to ask for a google review: 18 scripts covers the ask, the timing and the follow-up rules.
