Every photographer is sitting on a goldmine of finished work — buried on hard drives, invisible to search, earning nothing. Second Shoot digs it up: we migrate your archive, AI catalogs it like a real library, and your own branded sales site puts it back to work.
The average working photographer has tens of thousands of finished, delivered, beautiful photos — and no way to find any of them, let alone sell them twice.
Hard drives are where photo careers go to be forgotten. Folder names like FINAL_v2_reallyfinal, no search, no tags, no record of what's licensable. Every year the pile grows and the value trapped in it compounds.
Stock agencies take up to 85% and treat your life's work like clip art. Gallery platforms only care about this week's client delivery. Nobody is in the business of your archive — until now.
Our first archive migration: 60 events reconciled photo-by-photo, duplicates flagged, every frame accounted for. That's the standard your library gets.
You point us at the archive. We do the heavy lifting. Four steps, most of them ours.
Tell us where your photos live. Within 48 hours you get a real report: what's in there, what's licensable, what it's worth.
Drive, Dropbox, hard drives, ZIPs — your full archive moves into your private library. Reconciled against your folder counts. Nothing lost.
Auto-tagging, captions, dates, duplicate detection, rights tracked per photo. Search 10,000 frames like you'd search Google.
Your branded stock sales site, your prices. Buyers license your work; payouts land automatically. You keep shooting.
Every plan starts with 3 months free. Pay for the size of your archive — nothing else.
MIGRATION FREE ON ANNUAL PLANS, OTHERWISE A ONE-TIME $150 · LICENSE SALES ON YOUR BRANDED SITE CARRY A 10% PLATFORM FEE — YOU KEEP THE REST.
Straight answers to the questions photographers actually ask.
You do — always. We're a library and a sales channel, not a rights grab. Export everything and cancel anytime.
You pick the tier that fits your archive size. If you do nothing, your library goes read-only — nothing is deleted, and you can reactivate whenever.
Share a Drive or Dropbox link (or ship a drive). We ingest every file, preserve your folder structure, flag duplicates, and reconcile the count with you before anything goes live.
Your audit report breaks this down per archive, but broadly: venue, decor, detail and crowd shots without recognizable faces are ready now. Portraits need model releases — we track that per photo and help you close the gap.
Your branded sales site runs on secure checkout. Money lands in your connected payout account automatically, minus our 10% platform fee. No invoicing, no chasing.
No signup, no card. File the slip — your report lands within 48 hours.
