Hello! This post will walk you through using your Pass Gallery as a client receiving photos.
We will talk through what a pass gallery even is, how to access yours, why I prefer it over other digital file delivery sites and systems, how to download, order prints and share your photos. So let’s get into it!
In simple terms, it is an online website that photographers like me use to deliver your photos in the form of digital files. Personally, I have experimented with a few other gallery systems, but have found that Pass is the best option for me and my photography business.
With the PASS gallery system you can easily view your photos, download individually or the entire collection, order prints, select your fav images, and send your gallery link to family and friends. If you prefer privacy, there is also the option to create private galleries instead of shareable ones.
Your gallery will have a unique URL that you can access from any device to view, share and download your photos. There is even a PASS app for your mobile device which is super handy to download one or two quick photos to share on social media.
Quick Links
When your photos are ready, I will email your personal URL. Click the link emailed to you to access your online gallery. You may want to bookmark it on your browser. Be sure you are using the correct email you have on file with me when logging into your account for download permissions.
How Long Will I Have Access to My Photos?
Well, well, well, look at you coming up with this absolute gem of a question! You will have access to your pass gallery for one year. In that year you are welcome to share your link with friends and family, download and save your photos (please do this ASAP) and order through the online gallery. More instructions on how to save and order below.
Selecting Your Favorite Images
To select your favorite photos, simply click the heart on the bottom right corner of each photo. You will have to place your curser on the photo for it to appear. Once clicked, you will see the heart highlighted in the upper left corner of the photo. Choosing your favorite photos will come in handy later when it is time to make that holiday card or order prints.
How to Save Your Photos
Please be sure to download your entire gallery in hi resolution and backup your photos. I recommend downloading the hi-res files and backing up on an external hard drive. The one I recommend can be found on Amazon here. 1 TB is plenty.
Downloading Images
You will have the option to download your entire gallery, an individual photo or a group of select photos.
