The work does not end when the shoot does.
There is the edit, the send, the round of notes, the second send, the file that was too big for email, the contract still sitting unsigned in someone’s inbox.
Format Workflow puts that whole back half of the job in the same place your portfolio already lives. Your clients see your name, your layout, and your presentation at every step, from first review to final delivery.

Why Not Just Send a File Link?
Because a file link treats your work like a folder.
A generic transfer sends files. A Format gallery sends a presentation: your sequencing, your spacing, your branding, with feedback attached to the specific frame it refers to. The client is not opening a stranger’s website to get your work. They are still with you.
| Generic Transfer Link | Format-Arbeitsablauf | |
|---|---|---|
| Branding | Theirs | Yours |
| Layout and sequence | Alphabetical by filename | Your curation |
| Client feedback | A separate email thread | Notes on the image |
| Selects and approvals | Manual | Built in |
| Lives with your portfolio | Nein | Ja |

Build the Reference,
Then Build the Shoot
Pull references, arrange them, and share the direction with a client or a team before anyone picks up a camera. Drag and drop images, notes, and swatches onto an open canvas, then send it as a link.
Mood Boards is in private beta with a group of Format members.
