deliver wedding galleries without a monthly bill
Most gallery tools charge a subscription in US dollars, every month, whether or not you shot anything. FashionLife Galleries charges once per gallery, in naira. Upload from slow internet, let clients pick their favourites, and keep a free preview link that never goes dead.

From shoot to phone
clients open it on the phone they already have
A link and a QR code
Share one link or print the QR on a card. Previews load fast on a mobile connection.
Favourites, not email threads
Clients heart the shots they love and leave a note on each. You get one tidy list.
Vault for the originals
After 180 days previews stay free. Add the vault to keep the originals in cold storage.
Why photographers switch
built around how work really comes in
Pay per gallery, not per month
A Portrait Pass is ₦1,000 for 10 GB and a Wedding Pass is ₦2,500 for 50 GB, once. A quiet month costs nothing; a busy one costs what you delivered.
Naira, with local payment methods
Pay with Paystack or your in-app wallet. No dollar card, no foreign-exchange surprise on the statement.
Uploads that survive power and network cuts
Large files go up in 5 MB chunks and resume where they stopped after a drop. An optional "optimize before upload" shrinks heavy raw files first, for slow connections.
A link that never goes dead
Full-quality originals stay for 180 days. After that the lightweight previews (under 800 KB) stay online free, so a client can still show off the wedding years later.

Facts about other companies are taken from their public pages and help centres, researched 11 November 2026, in the currency they publish. Plans and prices change often, so verify before you rely on any of it. Where we could not confirm something we say so instead of guessing.

The arithmetic
when passes cost less, and when they do not
One wedding a month
One Wedding Pass per wedding is ₦2,500 a month, or ₦30,000 over a year of twelve weddings. That is 50 GB per gallery and no charge in months you do not shoot. For comparison, CloudSpot publishes its 100 GB Lite plan at $17 a month or $144 a year, in US dollars. Convert at today's rate to compare.
Four portrait sessions a month
Four Portrait Passs are ₦4,000 a month for 10 GB each. A subscription gives you one shared pool instead, which is better value if your galleries are large and you keep many online at once.
Assumptions, stated plainly
- Our numbers use the current default prices. We may change them; the price you see at checkout is what you pay.
- A pass keeps full-quality originals for 180 days. After that you keep free previews, or pay ₦5,000 per gallery to archive the originals. Subscription tools may keep originals online for as long as you keep paying.
- We have not compared sales-store features. Our print shop is not live, so there is nothing to compare there yet.
Questions
before you try it
Is this live yet?
Photographer Galleries is in early access. Passes, uploads, proofing, downloads and the vault are built and being switched on for studios in stages. The print shop and design marketplace are switched on separately: see the print shop section for their current status.
What happens after 180 days?
Your original, full-resolution files are removed and the gallery becomes a lightweight preview gallery (each photo under 800 KB) that stays online free. If you want the originals kept, add the Cloud Vault (₦5,000) before the date and they are archived in cold storage instead.
Can my clients download their photos?
Yes. You choose whether clients can download high-resolution files, can protect downloads with a separate PIN, and can cap how many downloads each client gets. Guests who only have the link see watermarked previews.
How do coupons work?
We can issue codes that grant a free pass, extra storage, or a discount on a pass or the vault. You enter the code on the gallery screen. If we gave you one, it shows exactly what it applies.
How do I move my existing galleries?
Upload the originals into a new gallery. There is no import tool yet, and nothing is deleted from your current provider.
Is a subscription ever the better choice?
It can be. If you deliver many galleries a month and want every original online indefinitely, a flat monthly plan with unlimited storage may cost less than buying passes. The worked example below shows where the lines cross.
try one gallery. keep the rest of your month.
Early access is open to studios in stages. Tell us you are interested and we will switch it on for your account.
