Snapm Opens Its Doors

Today we are happy to announce that we are quietly opening the doors of Snapm.com to the world. 

What is Snapm you ask...
Snapm is a place where people can find and book a capable local amateur photographer, hopefully at a reasonable price. With today's equipment, technology, and online resources we believe that there are plenty of amateur, hobbyist. and up-and-coming photographers out there who can do almost as good of a job as a professional can, but they just need a little help getting noticed and hired. We'd like to give them that extra help by providing them with an instant platform to create an online portfolio, get contacted, get booked, get reviewed, and sell their prints.

Wow, can it really do all of that already?
At Snapm we're big believers in the startup mantra "release early, release often." As such, the site doesn't yet have every one of the above mentioned features. But trust us when we say that we're going to have them all soon. We'll be releasing new features frequently (sometimes multiple times per day), so check back often with this blog to stay up to date.

What would I hire an amateur photographer for?
It may have never occurred to you to hire a photographer for any reason before because it was always so expensive to hire a professional, and inconvenient to find an amateur. But Snapm opens the doors to the idea of hiring an affordable amateur photographer for any of the following occasions:
  • Night out on the town
  • Engagement party
  • Baby or children's portraits
  • Couples shots
  • Shots of something you're selling (including your house or your car)
  • Modeling head shots
  • Shots of your business for your web site or press release
  • Birthday celebration
  • Corporate event
How can I try it?
Head over to Snapm.com and create your free portfolio if you're a photographer, or begin browsing for local photographers if you're looking for one. We literally just opened our doors so there aren't very many photographers on the site yet, but hopefully there will be soon.

We look forward to working with you all soon!
