Research

Problem

Users struggle to find photographers that match their style and budget due to unclear portfolios and ratings. Booking is complicated, payments feel unsafe, and there's no guarantee the photographer will arrive on time.

Solution

Clear profiles, portfolios, and pricing. Users pick a schedule, pay securely, and chat directly with the photographer. Ratings and reviews build trust, and a dashboard lets photographers manage bookings.
