Photographer <> Client interaction? What's your process? Do you use software?

[RyanHavoc]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forums and am here to do some research for a project I'm working on. Specifically I'm interested in learning about your client interaction and relationship, what's your process?

e.g. client approaches you to do a shoot, you do the shoot, you present the photos to the client for proofing and to select prints etc.

So a few accompanying questions:

How do your clients order prints from you?
Does this vary depending on the job (e.g. wedding photograph, modelling shoot etc) and if do how?
Do you have a private client area for your clients to access photos from?
If you have a private client area, is it custom built or do you use software or ecommerce service?


I'd really appreciate any responses!

Thanks

Ryan

What is this project actually for? College? Uni? Business studies?

I'm a designer and web developer with a web service idea and I'm doing research into how photographers work as well as get a feel for if there's a genuine need for what I'm planning to build.
