Community Updates

Hi there! We wanted to share a couple updates with this group. (1) We are moving our feature requests input to a new tool. This will be on site and more accessible. Find feature requests and other valuable info in the resource center (the lightbulb in the bottom right of your screen). Sharing your feedback just got a lot easier and we can't wait to hear from you!  (2) We are also moving our community back to Facebook. We feel this is the best platform to connect with our members and the best place to foster an open dialogue. Our hope is that the focus of this group remains on photographers. This will mean we won't use this group as a place for support tickets or for feature requests, rather for building a community of peers that helps all photographers build successful and sustainable businesses as you focus on what matters most. The relaunched Facebook Community is live now, join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shootproof Here are a few answers to potential questions on this

Our Values in Action

As a team, we care deeply about fostering a just, equitable, and inclusive community that reflects and amplifies diverse voices.   My colleague Anne said it beautifully on our Instagram this morning: “We aren’t especially good at being anti-racist. Even when we think we are. Even when we try really, really hard. So we paused, and we listened, and we argued, and we cried, and we grew depressed and hopeful and uncertain and empowered in turn. Then we put our big-kid pants on and took action.”  With that said, I’d like to share, on behalf of the entire extended ShootProof team, our committments toward building a better future. We’ve established ongoing financial support for Tomayia Colvin Education and The Photo Cookout. Photographers, if you’re looking for a place to start your education, on doing the work, start with this webinar offered June 10th.  Our local community is Atlanta, Georgia. We are proud to provide ongoing financial support for Illuminate ATL as they bring art educa

Welcoming our new CEO!

On March 18, 2020, ShootProof’s co-founder and outgoing CEO, Colin Breece, sent this letter to the ShootProof customer family.   Dear ShootProof family, ShootProof has never been in a stronger position than it is right now and I would like to thank each of you, the photographers who have been on this journey with me, for trusting us with your important work.
