Corporate photo galleries: organise selections and deliver with care
Lisa
For a business, a good gallery should make images easy to find, feedback precise and selections ready to use. It belongs within a wider project: the order, intended uses and agreed deliverables. The right tool keeps those elements easy to follow without confusing participants' opinions with final approval.
Start with how the photographs will be used
A portrait for an organisation chart, a recruitment banner and a brochure photograph serve different needs. Identify the intended media before preparing the selection gallery.
That distinction guides framing, useful variations and the files to deliver. It also gives the client practical criteria for choosing an image beyond personal preference.
Your website can prepare this conversation. A page dedicated to professional portraits or corporate photography presents your approach and attracts more specific enquiries than a page mixing all your specialities.
🏢 A clear gallery for several stakeholders
The communications manager may coordinate the project while employees share their opinions on their portraits. An external agency may also contribute requirements for layout formats.
On Pelli, you group images into folders and enable comments on photos. Your contacts can attach precise feedback to the relevant images, helping you find the context of each request.
You can also invite clients by email and protect the gallery with a password. Choose access settings according to who is authorised to view the project.
For a confidential presentation, use the gallery's protection settings. Unlisted status removes the gallery from your public showcase; protection controls access to it.
Software supports feedback; the client appoints the decision-maker
Several people can contribute without having the same role in the order. Ask who will send you the final selection and by when the feedback should be consolidated.
Agree with your client on one person who gathers feedback and confirms the final selection. This arrangement gives you a clear starting point for retouching.
For specific requests, ask for the desired result and image reference. You can distinguish a correction included in the service from additional work before starting.
An example: portraits for an architecture practice
A practice orders twelve portraits, two team photographs and three views of its offices. You present several expressions per person, then group team images and atmospheric photographs separately.
Each employee can express a preference for their portrait. The communications manager then gathers the choices and checks their consistency with the practice's new introduction page.
She confirms a complete list of seventeen images. A request to change the background appears on one portrait: you clarify its scope before adding it to the agreed work.
On delivery, you distinguish the files intended for the agreed media. The practice understands what it receives, and you keep a clear reference for the next order.
✨ Follow-up matters as much as presentation
A business client may return months later for a new team or another branch. Finding their context, contact details and previous services contributes to the quality of that relationship.
Pelli combines galleries and business management tools, including quotes, invoices and contracts. That connection is useful when your work goes beyond sending files.
To prepare the final stage of the project, also see our guide to professional photo delivery. Precise instructions extend the care put into the photographs.
