BlazePics + LinkPhoto

Client photo selection without giving away the originals.

Two-app SaaS for event photographers: BlazePics is the studio (upload, credits, watermarks, clients) and LinkPhoto is the client selection experience, pay-per-photo credits via PIX, realtime favorites, Lightroom/Finder export codes, without hosting full-resolution originals.

Built for: Event photographers & studios Open platform

Market pain

The problem this platform was built to solve

Photographers lose hours on WhatsApp “which photos?” threads, risk clients downloading full-res files before payment, and hate fixed monthly tools when volume is seasonal. They need a professional gallery flow that protects work and still feels smooth on a phone.

What the owner aimed for

The expectation behind the product

The owner wanted a credit-based product (no useless subscription), watermarks and low-res proofs only on the platform, a dead-simple client link, realtime selection sync, and export codes that fit Lightroom/Finder culling, plus an affiliate path for photographers to invite peers.

What DevPba built

How we got to this result

We shipped BlazePics + LinkPhoto: browser-side resize/watermark before S3 upload, phone/PIN gallery access, Pusher realtime selection, selection lock, PIX credit packs that do not expire, Lightroom/Finder filter codes, and a marketing site that answers every pricing and security objection in the FAQ.
